9/25 and the week of torture

Oh boy, what progress have I made this week? NONE! Thanks to the absurdity that is the Austin Independent School District, I got three days of in-school-suspension because I had my ecig in my car. It was IN MY CAR, and though I'm not 18 I didn't even have nicotine juice in it or in my possession! So, thanks to this BS system, I got to sit in a cubicle and do nothing but sleep on my hoodie and catch up on homework/reading. I'd try and make this blog post longer, but I'd just be complaining more about my disciplinary action and no one needs to here me rant about that. Maybe I'll actually get to work today/this coming week, but who knows.

"It's the quenchiest"

PROGRESS...has been slow. Yesterday (9/11) I failed to get focused on my work, thanks to not only the late start but also Mr. Risingers nice speech about the memorial of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I'm still having issues with inputting two key presses at once, and Im not sure what to do. I turned each key into a boolean within a list, but even when I properly instantiate the list and everything, I get an error on the first time I call a 'key' boolean. It's silly. I'll probably try to make a project with a more concise goal soon, and also one that doesn't need a second persons input/take in two key presses at once. Yayy learning how to code again. OOOOOh I could try out C++ with the XNA framework again!... Oh boy I'm getting alot of ideas

First blog post! And already makin' gainz

As of these words, class is halfway over. In that amount of time, I have already managed to polish my Engineering Design homework and scare John Chan away from me, because apparently I'm too distracting ("Success!"). I'm trying to plan out what to start working on first in this game I'm making in Processing, and also what I want the final product to look like. For the sake of simplicity I'm planning on making a two player competitive game instead of an RPG, because that requires me to refresh myself on more simple concepts of java first, and tackle those later in the semester. I'm having to look back at the Processing reference library a lot, but the information I learned Sophomore year is slowly coming back to me. *UPDATE* just realized it'll be difficult to take in two key press prompts at the same time and make two separate objects move with just If-statements. I am utterly lost in confusion. I say that, but I'm not actually. It's only the second week, but my work is hitting walls.
