Blog Post 9.1.11

This year, I am going to use my class time to develop my C# skills by making a game with my cohorts Alex Freed, Douglas Cheong, and Gavriel. While Doug and Gavriel definitely have superior coding prowess as compared to mine, I will endeavor to make my skills as polished as theirs.
My area of expertise is design. I intend to use this class as an opportunity not only to work on my XNA skills but also as experience designing for a game. Our planned levels include an 8-bit level, a zombie level, and others that will give me unique coding and design experience. When I go to college, I probably won't major in Computer Science. I think it's interesting, but I find I pick up design and understand it much more easily. I do of course intend to accomplish goals such as increasing my syntax knowledge and learning a lot about how graphics engines work for games and write a lot of my own code, but also my goal is to work on my skills as an artist and gain skill that will be useful to me in my future.
