i wanted to go to DigiPen, but i talked to DingoEatingFuzz and now i'm liking UAT in Arizona a bit more.
doesn't matter, though. my parents don't think i'm responsible enough to go to either school, plus it's too expensive. so onto CSU for me |:
also, back in my day, to make pong, we'd have to walk 3 miles uphill in the snow, barefoot, both to and from. so don't whine.
HolyPeanuts, Alice's background story is freaking epic. Designed and coined by one Randy Paulsch *I think I mispelt his last name*, author of "The Last Lecture"
if you read that book, and look into this man, that program you found so boring suddenly takes on entire new meaning. It's made entirely to introduce younger people to programming, and that's it.
In relations to the article itself I hate how computer science has so much math >:(. Though I understand perfectly why, it breaks my heart that it is. I too am currently enrolled in Comp Sci major, intending to go into game development, and obviously math plays a huge role there. Can't guesstimate physics engines can we?
Physics engines are all estimated physics actually
Hmm I didnt mean to post this on the front page.... oh well
I'd rather learn to program stuff from home. Sounds rather boring (apart from the homework, that would give me some incentive to finish Starfox Adventures... again) I have a program capable of C++ I just can't be as- *cough* haven't got round to learning it yet...
ya learning stuff from home is all fine and dandy but eventually you hit a wall. Like, advanced math and physics. That's really hard to teach yourself when you don't have an expert you can ask questions to.
In C class we spent 2 weeks learning about printf. Like, if you taught yourself that, it would take a few minutes to learn what it does. But we learn what it does, and how it does it, and a hundred other little details about it. In a commercial product will we ever use printf? Probably not, but the really in depth background we got on it helps us get a better understanding of the language in general.
Would you have known to explore the depth of a seemingly simple function if you were teaching yourself?
I've always wanted to go to digipen, but y'know, too far away
everyone here's from far away
well, yea. I live in anacortes, which is a few hours away, but I can't drive that long everyday and back, or afford to get a hotel.
whats a school full of nerds smell like anyway?
It sucks when the fat people don't shower
it prolly smells like a pocket protector
Weren't you supposed to be leaving?
Why don't you program someone who cares, dork!
Man the program sounds really painful.
just that class. The CS stuff is done really well
i hate school but in the end i know it will be worth it
Y halo thar
why are you blue
HolyPeanuts
I am taking programming 1 right now in High school. And before we get into some really light C++, we have to use Alice.......
Its probably not as bad as Project Fun, but its pretty damn boring.
