Game Update and a Random Observation
Keyframe animation was done Saturday, and I took a break from coding Sunday. Today my plan is to begin gluing Box2D to the rest of the game, which should basically take the project from “tech demo” to “actual game.” Hopefully I won’t run into many snags during the process. I don’t think I will because the python bindings for Box2D are very clear, but I’ve never worked with Box2D before.
In other news, I was reading Jeff Atwood’s Coding Horror blog, and I happened upon this article. I’m not even a college graduate yet, but I was able to write the FizzBuzz test program he mentioned in less than a minute. Now, I don’t think that’s a particularly amazing task, and anyone worth their salt could pull it off in as much if not less time, but I simply find it scary that such a simple task could take someone with the title of “Senior Programmer” 10-15 minutes to complete! It scares me that I could end up having someone who knows less than me be my boss, especially in a programming job! I don’t know if I could keep my faith in humanity if I had to spend months and years of my life reporting to a guy who doesn’t know what modulo is.
