I finished learning how to code from codecademy's section on Javascript, but unfortunately I didn't teach me much in how to code Snake from scratch. However, I did learn a lot of useful wording and when I looked at other people's coding for the game Snake, I was able to understand a lot of what they wrote and how each line of code corresponded with an action inside the game. The final product is coming along fine now, right now I just need to learn how to follow instructions from another source on how to create Snake and hopefully I will be able to create my own version of Snake. What keeps me excited is that hopefully I learned a lot from using codecademy, maybe not making games on my own, but I got an understanding of how much effort is put in to making games or applications. I'm happy with my progress since I finished using codecademy. Something interesting that happened in the last week was that I finished the Javascript portion of codecademy. The picture below is the final screen of Javascript. https://s3.amazonaws.com/codecademy-blog/assets/03-2013-new-experience.png

Unfortunately the last segment of learning how to code is taking a lot longer than expected, but I have been looking at ways to code snake and it doesn't look too hard. The final product is coming along fine even though I have been having a lot of trouble understanding how to code lately. What keeps me excited is that I will be able to code Snake and it will hopefully be functional, I am okay with my progress so far, I wish I understood more on how to code, but it's fine. Something interesting that happened in this last week was that I learned that it was not that difficult to learn how to code Snake, though I could probably never do it from my own knowledge, with the assistance of other websites, I expect to be able to code Snake at least to a certain extent.

Not much has come in the past week except that I have come to the final steps of coding. I've learned the core mechanics of using Javascript, and I believe that with the assistance of other websites out there, I can learn to make a replica of Snake. I am still pretty excited to the thought of creating a game using Javascript but what bothers me is that how much effort it will take to make Snake. My progress so far is adequate, sometimes I wish that I remembered everything about coding, but if I do research, a lot of the processes in coding comes back to my head after I research for long enough. Something interesting that has happened in the last week was that I saw a website that I could use to greatly aid my with making Snake, though it provides basically a copy and paste way of making it, I want to try to make it on my own.
