Coding here, coding there

Hello there audience!

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:

  1. Lack of motivation
  2. Lack of playing anything except Animal Crossing New Leaf
  3. 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.
