Winter Break project
I've been kicking around this idea for a little while, and the more I think about it, the better it seems. I want to write a game for a cellphone- specifically a little Craps simulator. I've been looking through internship and job opportunities, and they all want to see a portfolio. All I have is stuff I've written for classes, and the most interesting thing I have is a program for manipulating matrices (remember matrices from your Algebra II class? those things... yeah I told you it wasn't very interesting). Also, most of my projects use some "stub" code provided by the professor. Because they were only 90% written by me, they aren't really suitable for a portfolio.
The actual program would be easy. The hard part is making a graphical user interface (GUI)- or the part you see and interact with. But the project is so appealing because not only do I get to practice coding and art, I would end up with a fully functional game that I could put on my own cellphone. How awesome would that be? Yeah, you see that game? I FUCKING MADE IT! HAHAHAHHAAA!
So maybe you might find it interesting to follow my process. I'll post things like the art, and websites I find helpful... screenshots if I ever get it working.
