HB Day 9 - Slightly more confident, but maybe that's because of the assignment

Q:  How can you tell if a computer scientist is an extrovert?
 A: He's the one looking at your shoes instead of his (or her!) own

Chuckle chuckle, right? No? OK haha

So, it's Thursday night and after 9. I got home around 8:45 or so? Not sure. But, I did stop by the pottery studio tonight to pick up some bowls. One was good. The other... well, it's going to Clay Planet for fixing up. Still, I didn't really want to go to the studio tonight. I just wanted to come home and get to fixing up some code.

Can we say that my obsessive nature has finally kicked in? Yes. Yes, we can. I was up til midnight last night trying to get some code to work (Markov Chains!). Tonight, I should try to get to bed earlier.

Well, why am I slightly more confident when a few days ago I was wondering if I'd ever get it? I think it's because I'm finding a bit more success with our assignments. We're currently working on a game which is a lot of fun and there is a great deal of room for creativity. I even got to make some sprites.



Yes, that is poo on the side there. I could have made the shadows a bit lighter, but naaaah... that's not the point here.

At any rate, my partner and I have been having some success in getting our game to work. You can either scare off a dragon or get killed by it... thus, the ashes, poop and frozen girl.

Oh, we've been covering classes and object oriented programming these past few days. I like these. I understand them. Now, I need to go through our code for our dragons and try to make them a bit more efficient or polymorphic.

Except, I want to get my twitter Markov chain bot working first... well, the Markov bit. Twitter can happen tomorrow.
