I've recently discovered new videos on why coding is so good and how it can be very beneficial in the future. I've been looking at this videos and getting more motivation on doing coding. The final product is coming along fine, however, the latest coding in codecademy is making it very hard to understand but I can get the gist of it eventually. What keeps me excited about this is that I'll be able to make my own game which seems pretty amazing. What still bothers me is how hard it is to create the game. I'm fine with my progress so far, but I wish it was faster. Something interesting that happened was that I've learned a lot about javascript now. http://www.bloggingpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/coda-meets-wordpress-coding-standards.png This image shows how coding a game might look like.

Lately I've been deciding on which game I want to make and I finally decided I want to make a game that plays like Snake. I've been looking at the coding for it and it looks pretty simple to make a replica of the game though it make take a while. The final product is keeping me excited because it's pretty amazing to think that I can make a game from the knowledge I obtained from coding. What still bothers me is that since coding is so complex, I can still make many mistakes from one tiny mistake and it's gonna take a while to be able to do the game. Something interesting that happened was that I found out Snake is one of the earliest games ever made. I hope for my game to look like the image below. http://www.maniacworld.com/snake-game.jpg

http://code.org/learn
I found this website from browsing more websites to use to learn coding, it helped me because it provided an alternate to codecademy and helped me learn coding there too. Though both websites are very similar in material, code.org does have a couple of extended material that codecademy didn't have. However, I still prefer codecademy because of the visual appeal and how it goes in more depth on what mistakes you make and helps more on explanations of what everything does.

I found this website from searching some interesting facts and stories about coding. The website helped me because it gave me some more motivation on to continue coding with giving me facts and knowledge on why coding is so important. Mainly telling how coding will eventually become something that will be very useful in the upcoming future because of the advancement of technology. This website gave me some faith to possibly pursuing coding later on.
