I got the email for CodeYear Week 3 on Mon­day, but didn’t get to it until Thurs­day between classes. It took me about 45 min­utes to fin­ish, and was basi­cally a big review of all the mate­r­ial pre­vi­ously covered.

We did have to put the con­cepts together into a very basic dice game, but I hope that’s not what they meant when they said I would be work­ing on a game by the end of the first month. It was a just a ran­dom num­ber gen­er­a­tor with weighted results — 1s get you 0 “points” while dou­bles get you bonus “points.” There was no user input to speak of.

I got the e-​mail for the CodeYear Week 2 les­son this morn­ing and dived right into it. There were two new lessons and one that was already avail­able on the Codecad­emy website.

This week’s focus was on func­tions, so it was still pretty sim­ple for me. Look­ing for­ward to putting these basics together into a com­plete project.

Got the first les­son from CodeYear today.

I haven’t worked entirely in JavaScript before. When I did use JavaScript in the past, it was only snip­pets within another lan­guage. Noth­ing too bad, though. The prin­ci­ples are the same, just had to learn the proper syntax.

Sup­pos­edly, the lessons get advanced enough that I will be work­ing on a game by the end of the first month. Look­ing for­ward to that.
