Full Swing

It is only the second week and FIEA is already in full swing. As a programmer we've already taken an assessment test to evaluate our level of understanding of some of the key programming concepts we will use here. Based off the results Tom (Carbone, our programming professor) custom-tailored the programming class for the programmers and technical producers.

In our production for media class we were split into groups of 7 and given a topic for presentation. Today we presented the project and we can now focus more on our Rapid Prototyping assignment.

For our Rapid Prototyping assignment we were split into groups of three or four with the purpose of making a "fun" game in Adobe Flash CS3. Being the only programmer on the team makes it tough to make a full mini-game from scratch in the two week time frame we were given. Things are getting tough and my free time is dwindling with each passing day but when I go to bed at night I know I love what I'm doing.
