So, this is a post to explain my absence. It has nothing to do with too much stress or anything dire. Rather, it stems from three sources:
- Lack of motivation
- Lack of playing anything except Animal Crossing New Leaf
- Extreme interest and drive at learning JavaScript, in addition to HTML and CSS
The last one, numero 3, is the main purpose for this post. You see audience, I am currently learning some web development. Hopefully this will take me down a path towards a suitable career. So far, so good.
In fact, I often become so excited about something new that I've learned, namely in JavaScript, that I decide to immediately start coding something random. My latest, and most driven, JS, HTML, CSS project concerns creating a click-based adventure game centered around the bridge keeper exchange from Monty Python: The Holy Grail. Yes, I realize that there may not be a nerdier or geekier phrase in the universe than that one.
I am hoping to have it completed before my family comes up to visit in July. I want it not only to function without major bugs, but I also to look like a million bells. Damn, Animal Crossing has really brainwashed me.
The only thing that I need to be wary of is biting off more than I can chew. I have a habit of trying to run before I can walk with new skills. Programming is not forgiving, in the slightest. Running often just causes crashes to occur. So, it is a good discipline for me to be learning because it forces me to constantly learn from trial/error.
Once my project is completed, I'll launch it on the Pixel Dust blog. It is a short game but has many possibilities. I hope that you will enjoy my work audience. Until that time, or if I pick up another game in between now and then, I bid you adieu.
