I started this blog having written about 10 small programs in Python and getting most of them to work – 90 pages into my first python book.

I started to code in BASIC on a BBC Micro emulator (mostly making sprites. And I started building a boxing game, then turned it into the beginnings of a pong game with the faces for balls. A little bit of sound and mathematical psychedelic animated patterns.) on my family Acorn Archimedes. Which helped me get the high score in high school algebra – 98%. Many years later and after moving away from maths into creative fields, I failed at C# then I did a few days with C++ and Javascript and liked them but then I found python and fell in love, but Javascript seems faster – I have achieved proficiency in Javascript (tested on pluralsight) – but I’m still a beginner at it. So I’ve been doing python for about 8 months (not every day or even every week, but my plan was to do an hour of coding every day. My plan now is to do 2-3hrs/day for 1 day/wk) and got as far as 84pgs into my first python book including assignments (I went back to the beginning after a break to refresh.)

My goal is to use Javascript and game engines to build prototypes, game demos and finished games and software; to build my own indie video games based on my art, writing and design in Javascript.

I started out in Python – it is a language I still love, however: now I’m studying Javascript.

I’ll talk about things I did wrong and what I learned. Both in game dev/software dev and business concepts. Hopefully I can chart my progression on this blog.
