The First Chronological Half
I had (have) three big assignments for this weekend: my Automata homework due on Monday, my OS project due on Wednesday, and the Alpha of the game project due a week from Tuesday. Today I finished up my Automata homework and got approximately halfway done with my OS project. None of these things is necessarily more important than any of the others, so technically I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t spend all day on the game project and then need to rush tomorrow and Monday to finish up what’s actually due this week. Tomorrow I’ll almost be able to finish up the OS project (there’s one feature which was left out of the spec, so I have to ask the teacher about it on Monday), and any remaining time left will be dedicated solely towards Flash, Actionscript, and designing a working version of a multiplayer combat engine.
If our due date had not been pushed back a week, the Alpha version would be due this Tuesday, and I probably would be going insane right about now. It’s going to be bad enough with baseball on Tuesday and Friday and then the game event all day next Saturday, but I just have to keep reminding myself that it only needs to work, it doesn’t have to be perfect. If I could go back in time, I’d definitely push for a massive scaling back of this project, but that’s the beauty of hindsight.
