Ethan Barnes: Game Dev, Week 3

Wow, its the end of week 3? Well, that’s kinda crazy! So, the last week has gone great, I checked out downtown Denver and did cool stuff at Illfonic and finished the Discord Hack Week. Well, let’s start with what I did at Illfonic, eh? At the beginning of this week helped Jeremy move the test pit to another room so he could set up a couple of desks in the hallway. We also got to build me a workstation which is pretty sweet! We set it up with Visual Studio, perforce, slack and other developer essentials. Of course I did <can’t tell you> and <can’t tell you> too and that was great! When I wasn’t programming for Illfonic I was programming for discord. I feel like I finished off the hackweek strong. I made like 800 lines of code (some of which should be split in 2…) and created a project that’s really cool. At least I feel like it was cool… someone else probably made something better, but hey, I tried! I made it have integration with youtube for playing music and a Pokedex API for pokemon stuff. It has a database I built with SQL (pronounce it how you will) for scores and some simple mod and user commands. Well, I say simple but the help command is probably the second most complicated command there. I also made a sweet README.md file that nobody will read… It’s even in CAPS LOCK and they still won’t look at it! I added some memes, will you read it now? No? Well, I expected that. I had an online friend help me out when it came to the web dev stuff too and they made a sick site. It’s really cool! I was going to add a bunch of other stuff too but I ran out of time. That ended Friday so Saturday / Sunday I got to relax which was nice. Sunday I got to go to downtown Denver and check that out. We went to REI and the 16 st mall. We bought clothes. And ice cream… at Little Man. No, I’m not addicted! You’re addicted! Ha! Gottem. Anyway, I guess the week before I watched E3 and now there’s the summer sale and my wallet if feeling that. I’m starting to work on more advanced projects now at Illfonic now and that’s really exciting! Its big brain time now.
