a website about my video games. I think
machine learning and computer security.
I think making a computer program that can write songs would be fun. And there is also genetic programing. There is so much I have to learn about programming. So many exciting things.
I also want to put up a website. what that website will be about I don’t know. Or if I will ever get the website built I don’t know.
I get so excited about a lot of things. Then I realize that I have to put in the work to get good at the hobbies I want to get good at.
I think what if I had started making programs a long time ago when I got my first computer. I would be a lot further along with programming. I might be making my own programs by now.
It took me years of on and off use of blender to start making projects with that program. And now I want to program. So its time to make projects with python and pharo. I want to forget what could of been and start making projects.
games that I had for the Atari 2600. I wonder what would have happened with those games if I had taken video gaming seriously. Could I have gone pro. I am sure not. I don’t think I ever tried to get good at a game like pacman.
I must have thought that there are people good at playing video games and I was not one of those people. I don’t know of a game I wish I had had for the Atari 2600.
I don’t know very much about the games I played on the Atari 2600. I know almost nothing about any other games for the Atari 2600. Back then I never read a video game magazine, or watch a TV show about video games.
All I can remember from that time is I used to get up early in the morning on Saturdays to watch a fictional program about computers. I cant ever remember the name of the show. I can’t even remember much about the show. I just know it was about a computer.
I think that I am never going to be able to write my own programs. There is so much about programming that I do not know. But, I have to try. I have to try. Its what I wanted to do long before I got a computer.
I have been trying to program for years and so I am going to program. I had fun trying to solve the exercises in how to design programs. I have not finished reading the book yet, but I know I did have fun reading it. Also working with Dr. scheme was fun.
So I know I like computer programming its just that I have not done much of it. I need a project. Instead of worrying I need to start programs. Just get it made. I am sure it will be fun.
not done much of is read computer code. Mostly I just read books about my programming language flavor of the moment.
In learn python the hardway the author talks about reading code. so I did read some computer code but, then I stopped. There are other things to do I told myself.
But, if I want to program I am going ot have to read a lot of code. I don’t think there is any way around that. Maybe if I read enough code I will finally be able to understand it. It does not seem possible. I will give reading code a try and see what happens. Fingers crossed.
worked on a map for a text game I want to make. I want to make a game about a garbage man. i want to write code but, I figure I have to have a map of the streets of computer city to be able to make a game.
I need to design the program then then write time program. It does not matter if its not a good game. What I want to do is write a game. A badly written game is better than no game at all. At least when you are trying to write you first game. I my opinion. I can make the game better later.
the video games I make. People can’t play the video games I have made because I have not completed a video game. So the main thing is to get started on a video game.
I never thought I could blog and then one day I started blogging and I have not stopped yet. Sure my blogs are not great but, at least I am blogging. Which is what I wanted to do.
To me programming is fun. I like thinking about a problem that I think I will never be able to solve. I want to be able to boss a computer around. I like telling a computer what to do. I am the computers boss. I say jump the computer says how high.
That’s all I have got for today.
wanted to make computer programs. But, I kept switching computer programming languages.
Then there were times I was fed up and never wanted to try to learn how to program a computer. I thought computers were boring and I wanted nothing to do with programming a computer.
I have written some of my own code but, not much of it. If I could think of coding like writing. I wanted to write songs, I wrote songs, I wanted to write fiction I wrote fiction.
I know I need to design a program before I write it. And maybe the design takes more time then the actual coding.
I know I am interested in coding computer games, machine learning, math. Now I just have to start. Even if I never write a program anyone uses at least I can say I wrote a program which as I write this now I cant say.
The program languages I want to write programs with are python, and pharo. I don’t think I will ever be a professional programmer but, at this point in my life I do want to program. So that is what I am going to do.
I have got to make video games. The only way I am going to get better is by failing, making a lot of mistakes and overcoming those mistakes. I will not have made a game if I don’t ever try making a video game.
It does not matter if its not a good game. All I want to do is see if I can program a computer game, make the art and music for it. So I need to start making a game.
a text and graphical video game. I have not played text based video games much. I have had the idea to program a video game for years. And have I done it no.
The farthest I get is programming a little of the game and then I quit. I suppose I don’t think I cam program a video game so I end up not programming a video game.
I want to program a video game so that is what I am going to do. I hope. It might not happen. But, I will try.
