Re: Noob learns to code in 3 months
ish, superbusy as of late trying to complete this last math course.
Will be back to more programming thursday next week and then do all I can trying to get another game done before may 15. Looks like I will have to use spaceballs as it is without alpha blending which I think is alright.
see you in a week

Got called in for interview at the game programming school! Half the people who get called in for interviews gets accepted. GL me
Re: Noob learns to code in 3 months
Thanks! Yeah life has been intense last month or so, been rewatching some tutorials last few days to brush up though and plan from now is to finish the C++ book and watch the new intermediate series and 3d series over the summerchili wrote:Oh shit, back from the dead. GL bro.
Re: Noob learns to code in 3 months
Alright so here's where I'm at now.
Applied for the game programming school. I sent them space balls along with a personal letter and my grades from school.
There were about 350 applicants (mix of designers, artists and programmers)
out of these 350, 70 got called in for interviews (35 will get accepted). I was one of them.
The interviews took place the other day. Started off with a tour around the school. Showed us the gaming room, cinema room and workstations. Then we were split into groups of 5 for a group task.
part 1 of the task was to play monopoly (the board game) with each other and analyze the rules (while teachers were watching and taking notes).
part 2: Change the games, rules etc and try to make it more complex/fun etc
part 3: trade games with the other group and try to play their version of the game.
While this was going on, they picked us up one by one for a 1:1 interview which was about 5-10 minutes long.
I think the group task was made mostly so they could see how we function in a group, social skills etc.
After all of this everyone got an assignment with a game to write.
Here's how my code ended up

Feel free to criticize the code, but I've already sent it to the teachers so will not be able to make any changes
So now I've done everything I can and just have to wait about 3 weeks until I know if I'm accepted or not

Congratulations and good luck.
