Over the past month I
have familiarized myself heavily with the programming language “Lua.” While it
is mainly used for apps and video games, Lua can be used for a lot of other
things. I go to the Help Desk multiple days a week for 45 minutes to work with
Dan on understanding the world of Digital Design and computer programming. I
have found some useful resources while at the Help Desk such as online
compilers and tutorials. As of right now, I have 3 small projects due for
the Help Desk before one big project.
My first small project is to be completely fluent in Lua. I want
to be able to read any Lua code and understand it thoroughly, as well as the
ability to effectively write it. My second small project is to develop some
tutorial videos (around three) to showcase what I have learned in Lua during my
time at the Help Desk. My last small project I am currently deciding between
making a mod for one of my favorite games “Garry’s Mod,” or create a medium
sized program (more than 70 lines of code to make a game). My big project will
to develop a video game of small or medium size.As this month was more focused on brainstorming, the next month will involve more coding and further brainstorming on projects to complete.
