Hello
Hello,
I’m Simon, the other new developer.
It’s been a few of weeks now since I started my placement here at Team Cooper and a demanding few of weeks it has been. I have spent the last two years on a game programming course at Sheffield Hallam studying C++, DirectX and OpenGL and because of this, it’s been a task converting to Actionscript and adopting the MVC method of thinking. It’s all experience though and I enjoy a challenge. I think the effort has paid off and now, rather than just accepting that things work, I am recognising how different sections of code play their part and why this approach leads to a cleaner coding practice.
As I’m aiming myself towards a career in the games industry I think any experience earned in my year here will benefit me; working with Flash, which is famous for creating interactive and good looking experiences, will definitely help. I’ve been involved in various projects from Flex applications to Flash games and I’m also developing my own project in the “20%” free time which will be a suite of fast paced mini-games. I’ve mainly been working with existing code so far so writing these mini-games from scratch using an MVC approach is going to be fun.
Simon
