New project and another Friday

Here comes another Friday! Isn't that spectacular? It's fun to have some days off work. However, it is not so fun, while you have to work during these days anyway. Started learning the Unity. Yes!

Although I am new in this interesting thingy, I am getting used to it quite fast. And I am getting to love it. I don't know, what makes me love it. Probably it's the same reaction to my metabolic system, which was during my starting season of programming. It all began with Realbasic Studio. It's sort of newbie software for newbies. It is not newbie, because it is dull. No way. It is very friendly to new programmers. When I was getting started my career as a programmer, it made my dreams come true. It is very easy to use, even when you have to write a code. Most of the code is pre-generated and it is not good for old-programmers, or should I say elder ones? It has most of the classes visualized, which really helps, when you don't know, what the hell is that "thread", "canvas", "timer", "game cycle", i.e. "while cycle" and all the other stuff.

I suggest you to start your programming career with something similar to this. I know that everyone likes C++ and especially those newbies, which doesn't even know "if" statement. Everyone just speaks C++. Everything else is just a piece of shit or you can't do anything good with all the other shit, except C++. Well, to most of you, I would say, stop this bullshit. No one knows C++ for 100% percent, even those pro's, who really are, not the ones, who just speaks... Ok, enough about this one. Just use something easy for a start, if you don't want to be scared and become one of those, who thinks that programming is for geeks only.

Why did I write the paragraph above? It's easy to understand. I feel the same doing something with Unity as I felt doing something with Realbasic Studio. It is easy for starters and good for pro's. I understand, that there are some restrictions, but with the abilities it gives you, those restrictions just disappear.

That fair enough about my last few days of learning. The next thing I did, was my speech. It was quite..., well you know, when you do something, what you are not capable of. It was nice and easy, but I was nervous. My mouth became so dry, I had to drink after my speech. Well, that happens, first times especially. My tongue forgot how to pronounce the words and my mind just left me... I became a jackstraw. I may get used to this and won't do the same mistakes again, because we are going to have so many speeches during my studies, so there are not enough fingers on my arms to count that. My English improved, especially after the studies in England. However, when I am on a scene in front of many people, I even forget my own language. That's odd.

I have got my first project! Yay. It is related with dances...

It's Friday! Happy weekend, guys! Should I take a beer, snacks and go watch a movie. What wonderful idea. Well, I have already done that. I watched MIB3. It was interesting, got some tears from me. However, beer is a miracle here... quite expensive. I saw one, which is quite cheap. 4 cans cost 1 pound. Well, it's TESCO. Therefore, I didn't buy it. I may get attracted one day and buy it for the experiment. For now, it's just a Cider though. Not a best way to spend Friday's night, but... Gonna watch another one, xex...

Fair enough for now. Thanks for reading.

See you in a next post.

Bye.

  1. Sweet that you mentioned RealBasic! :D That tool is quite rocking, just the problem is that it is commercial and terribly expensive :/

    I'm happy that you into Unity neck deep:) Starting November I'm going to dive into OpenGL (I think) and will be down there for half a year:)

    And about the beer...
    Well, back here it is monopoly for alcohol. Run by government. So stop complaining.

    Fortunately, the monopoly is just for the medium and heavy artillery. So I've got a six-pack for ~20 SEK. That beer is more or less a piss (regarding the "voltage"), but it flows down the throat quite tasty ;)

    Man, good luck! :)

    P.S. Can you somehow authenticate me so I don't need to enter fricking CAPTCHA every time I comment here?

  2. Well, the beer, I mentioned above, is 2.6 voltage. However, that voltage is not the same as in our country. I think you should divide that by 3 or so, to get a real one :D So I am still under heavy thinking, whether I should buy a free-alcohol beer for 1 pound. Or should I say water with a beer's smell...

    I don't know what's wrong with that captcha, because I don't have to enter it, even I am not logged in... that's weird. I shall investigate that.

    1. Well, I can't change my post and this freaks me out... so I have to write a new one or delete a previous one, and copy/paste it. Damn. Anyway, I disabled CAPTCHA, but only registered users will be able to comment. Might change this blog with something better, if I get enough spare time.
