I cannot get over the prizes in this Death Star Battle Home Video Game Sweepstakes. I also love the game big time.
The more I study programming, the more I miss the correlation of code to visual representation. Like my earliest coding that stuck in my brain is when I could translate HTML tables and CSS to the way a page is displayed. Tweak these values and the page looks different. It’s immensely satisfying and even after all these decades it’s a great feeling to use a scripting language to determine the way something will look.
Vs. the C++ programming I’ve been undertaking recently which has thus far been about mapping out programing requirements and systems to manage data that has no visual representation beyond perhaps a pivot table in a spreadsheet.
All of which is to say I probably won’t become a systems programmer, but I hope I can start to draw connections to how this translates to UI programming, or, dare I say it, gameplay programming and design?
Time waits for no one, and neither shall AGS Awards 2022 which has now moved beyond “play them games!” and onto “nomination time!”. I’m sure you know what that means. If not, well, hope you managed to sample the goods, because the time has come to let your voice be heard, and across fifteen categories no less.
