For the third part of our summer assignment for Advanced Game Design, we were tasked with writing about what excites us about the upcoming school year in our class. I cannot explain how excited I am to once again be coding during school. This summer I have been learning how to code in Java through edx and other websites. This has sparked my interest in coding and computer science immensely. Along with taking Advanced Game Design next year, I am hoping to take AP Computer Science Principles to supplement my love for coding. Over this summer I realized how interesting coding really was and how fun it was once you got good at it. This is a feeling that I did not have when we did coding last year. This is why I am so excited to get to code more in C# during the school year. While Java and C# are not the same, they do still have the same underlying principles. I think that taking Java courses over the summer will help me improve during the school year as I know that I understand the principles of coding much better. Along with that, I think that I will be able to create better games this year especially since we will be working in groups to create more advanced games. This to me is very exciting because for me the hardest part of making games was coming up with the concept art and sketches. Now with the help of a team, I will not be alone in creating these sketches. This allows me to focus more on my strength which is coding. I think that working with a group of people will be very beneficial because each part of the project can benefit from the work of many people. Concepts become easier to make and choose, coding becomes faster and better designed as well as the actual art going into the game is designed better with more attention to detail. Overall, I am excited for this coming year because I have found a passion for coding and I feel like I will have a lot of fun doing it in class during the year.
