Week 7 - jnoll4/tech190 GitHub Wiki

Coding has been frustrating for the most part because it seems like even though the tutorial I am following to help make my game seems to have code that does not work for me because it might be old, but its 3 years old, which makes me confused. I checked to make sure I had everything right, and it seems like it, but then I just started looking elsewhere for making my code. I found some code that ended up working, and it was pretty much what I wanted. I could move the character with the WASD keys. But I am finding out that the tutorial seems to use a lot the specific variables and functions which affects the later innerworkings of the game, which then leads me to a crossroads. I came up with my own idea for the animation problem, which was close to what I needed to do and made me understand the code more, but it ended up not really working. I then decided to move on to other parts of the tutorial and come back to the animation problem later. I then started working on the collision system for the rooms, which the code uses a lot of the variables that I don't have, which has led me to another dead end. This process has been a pain to me a lot, partially because I'm not big into coding, and I feel like I don't know a whole lot, starting over and over, and finding solutions that aren't solutions. Anyways, I'm just gonna keep powering through and asking others what my problem is, because I'm probably gonna need a whole lot of outside help to make me understand coding in the game.
