Late last week/early this week I finished the JavaScript tutorial with code academy. Now I'm back to creating a frogger clone with Udacity. It's a fun project. The canvas and engine has already been created. They can be edited, but the first step is to cause the enemies and player to render, move and collide properly. The code academy classes did great work in helping me understand object oriented programming. Within two days I've got the characters rendered and moving. Now it's time to construct a collision formula. Something that will calculate the pixel box and when there is 0 space between the enemy and player cause the game to reset. If I don't have it down by tonight then tomorrow for sure.
King pulled me up the stairs today, I thought to play, but then he grabbed his boots. I guess he decided it was time to play outside. And it was snowing so who could blame him? We bundled up and slid down our local hill for 20 or 30 minutes before he started losing his mittens. Watching him interact with his environments has been one of my favorite things to do in the recent years. Everything is new and I guess will be new for the next couple years, at least. All the tromping up the snow covered hill helps his appetite. When we got in he ate two apples and a pack of crackers. Guess we can call sledding a work out!
