What I want to do with this blog

When I fist got a computer I wanted to be a programmer and make games. So that is what I want to do. The games probably wont be good but, games I will make. I don't know how many I will make but, I want to make at least one.

Today I will start on a game called computermayhem. I saw a piece on a television show about a place in japan where you can go and throw plates at a wall or something to relieve stress or something like that so I thought why not do that with a computer. Since I often hate my computer I thought why not do that with a computer. It will be a text based game at first and hopefully I will be able to turn it into a 2d or 3d game. But, I don't know how to make anthing more than a text based game now.

Its been a will since I posted

And judging by my blog traffic I am sure no one was to upset about that. SO what am I going to write about I will tell you.

I have decided I want to see if I can make computer games or well anything. So with that in mind I have decided that there are a few programming languages I want to try. I want to use python, go, and pharo and why not throw in lua because I have always want to make something with the love framework. That probably to much for me to learn but, I will write it as something I want to do and if I don't get all that done, it does not matter that much. I would not be the end of the world to me.

Hurrah Hurrah It was about two days ago that I finally uploaded a few lines of code to my remote repository on git. I just wanted to see if I could do it and after one try and then another I got the upload to work. So now I want to start writing programs so I can have a bunch of repositories. Heck its been eight years that I have tried to program. I need to make of for lost time. All that time I have not written a single program.

Genetic programming sounds fun

Today I found a book on genetic programming. I don't ever remember hearing about genetic programming before. I suppose I am looking for something to make besides games which I am not that interested in making anymore. But that is the idea I have had in my head that I want to programming computer games. But, lately I have thought I don't even like playing computer games much or maybe more accurately I don't have much interest in making my own computer games.

What else do I want to write about. I think I might at least be programming something if I just start writing programs. Its like entering sweepstakes I could read about entering sweepstakes but, I just have to start entering sweepstakes eventually. I want to write programs but, I don't write programs. I think writing programs is something I will do in the future when I know enough about programming to be able to write programs but, I have been wanting to program for years and if I had started writing my own small programs on the first day I started programs I would be a average programmer now but, instead I have written nothing and now its been years and I don't think I have anything to show for it.

So today I have to start writing programs even if they are bad. I figure the more programs I write the better I will get. And I also want to read a lot of code.

I am still reading the small talk book I have been reading for the past few weeks.

July 18

The only thing programming related yesterday was reading the smalltalk book I have been reading for the past two weeks or so.

July 17

I did the same thing yesterday as I did the day before that and the day before that which is read the smalltalk book I have been reading.

July 16

I read the smalltalk book I have been reading for the past probably two weeks, yesterday. Ohterwise I did nothing else programming related.
