A place of mind.

In this post I will yap about the CS courses that I have taken so far and I will mention what I like and dislike about each of them! Year 1 CPSC 110 The course is supposed to be a first year’s introduction to programming at UBC. I find it somewhat interesting as the course is taught using a functional programming language.

Additionally, I wish to have this text editor work as a multi-user editor, this means that changes in the application is synced across various users. ...

In the process of making a party game, I notice that most scenes and minigames that I make typically requires the creation of a room. Sometimes, each scenes and minigames require different room sizes depending on their gameplay, therefore rather than creating a room prefab, how about I create a tool that automatically generates a room for me. It sounds pretty cool in my opinion, so let’s do it 😎. ...
