- What did you do this past week?
I started getting the setup for the project finished and began working on the solutions. As of right now, I only have the basic implementation done and I’m currently working on optimizing it to finish the other test cases. - What’s in your way?
Mismanaging my time. I had underestimated the time that I need to work on this project and coupled with a few unexpected issues that came up. This made me much shorter on time than I had hoped, but nothing not manageable. The project information is coming along quite smoothly, so I hope I will be able to continue this progress. - What will you do next week?
Well for the beginning of the week, I’ll be finishing up the project. However for the later half of the week, I will be prepping for career fair, tests and assignments I have in my other classes. After that, I hope to be able to take a break since I’ve had a slightly hectic past week or so. - What was your experience of exceptions, references, and consts? (this question will vary, week to week)
In class, learning about exceptions, references, and consts was interesting to see how they functioned in C++. I’ve had experience with these concepts before, however it was nice to get a deeper understanding of the subject. It was especially funny to learn about consts due to the paintball analogies. Never knew how many different ways you could define const behavior. - What made you happy this week?
Finally being able to replace our TV. Recently our TV broke and getting it repaired and replaced has been a thorn in my roommate’s and I’s side. Took way more effort due to Best Buy giving us the good ol’ wild goose chase around the city. (Thanks) I’m just happy that we were finally able to get this done so I can begin resuming the project. - What’s your pick-of-the-week or tip-of-the-week?
A good endless phone game I used to play called Event Horizon is good at filling up the spaces in between classes. Pesky one hour blocks can be easily filled with this endless grinding ship game. Unfortunately, the game isn’t updated on a frequent basis and it has quite a beginners curve. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ZipasGames.EventHorizon&hl=en_US
