The Day The Quadogy

Today I started working on my strategy game. It took me a little bit to get started with the title menu because I haven't coded for a little bit in Java. I keep on getting an error for a scanner function which is a variable that takes user input and I';m not really sure why that's happening because the online java console tha I'm using doesn't really give me an idea of why specifically it isn't working.

The Day The Quadogy

Today I watched a video tutorial on linked lists for java. They seem kind of useless and I'm not really sure what their purpose is and how they're different from arrays or arraylists. They seem a little bit specific and I don't think I'll need to use them in my strategy game. About that strategy game that I wanted to create , I googled some examples of java text-based strategy games that I could base my code on. I watched a guys youtube video on him making one of those. I'm about halfway through the video and now I have a better idea of how to start off making my game.

The Day The Trilogy

Today instead of learning about arrays and multi-dimensional arrays, I learned about arraylists. I don't know the whole reason on why these are two separate things, but I know now that these have a lot of built in functions in them that would be useful to implement in the strategy game that I'm going to make soon. They seem very useful with creating a character name and manipulating stats. I'm definetley going to be using array lists in my strategy game.

The Day The Sequel

Today I rewatched Derek Bananas array tutorial and payed a lot more attention to it this time around. He would prin t them out using for and while loops and that was a little bit confusing but I have a lot better understanding of how arays and multi-dimensional arrays work now.

The Day

Today I started out with the idea of creating a game like the avalanche game on the internet using python. In this game the player is a block and other blocks fall down all around and stack on top of each other. Then the player has to jump on those blocs while trying not to be squished. I started out trying to recreate that but then I realized that I completely forgot  everything about drawing objects in python. I then watched another java video tutorial about multi-dimensional arrays wwhich will help me if I want to make a tile based movement game.

Seventeenth Day

Today I watched a you tube tutorial of a guy making a game in Java using arrays, I still don't really understand what was going on but I think I'm going to watch it again tomorrow with headphones and I'll understand it better. I think I'm going to try to make the same txt-based game that he did sometime later in the week.

Sixteenth Day

Over the break I watched a few java video tutorials and worked on a rock paper scissors java project and I still need to finish it a little bit so I'm working on a few bugs. Today I didn't really know what to do so I watched two java video tutorials on exception handling which is going to help me out a lot. Tommorow I'm going to go on a java console website and try to make a program because java eclipse hasn't been set up on my computer yet.
