rox is coding

Today I finished my first 3-file program - main, class and a header. Had to spend quite a while debugging it but when it finally worked it felt sooo good! It was really rewarding and got me really spirited about this whole journey.

The code itself is quite simple, it’s purpose is to store a player’s coordinates and print them out in the console. Then it prompts you if you want to change it, which you can answer with Y or N. While you answer with a Y, it then prompts you for the new X and Y coordinates and start the whole loop again (print coords > prompt for change > new coords).

The program was made to cement my understanding of classes and how to implement them. The main function is done basically with std::cout and the functions inside the class.

So, I had little trouble in keeping up with the tut’s I’ve watched so far, but now that things are starting to get more complicated, I’m starting to feel some disconnection with what’s going on. I’ll do my best though.

Picture this: you’re in your twenties, your family sucks and you feel stranded. You want to get out, to achieve something but it feels like every step you take drains an enormous amount of energy from you.

Now you know that it’s not true, you know those steps are barely baby steps but you pretend to feel tired either way. Well, that’s the reason why I’ve made this blog. To get out of my comfort zone, to learn something useful and do something with it that’ll empower me to get away from the toxic people that clouded my life. And to get rich. I hope I get rich.

Anyway, the reason behind the existence of this blog is to mantain a journal of sorts of my development on coding, tool which I pretend to use as the means to achieve all I said in the paragraph above. I’m an ex-Industrial Design undergraduate who left the course after 5 1/2 excruciantingly boring semesters with a hunger to become a professional.

I’m also a maniac, a crazy bipolar and a serial depressive - but let’s hope none of that get’s in the way.

Finally, this blog isn’t meant to be read, so if by any chance you end up stumbling here, do know that I mean to hold no responsability for the crap I say here (lot’s of it incoming, btw) and that my hatred for people is not generalized.
