It's a universal fear.



Drawing on the Buttercup Festival influence here. It's just a cat breaking free of its leash and flying back to its owner's house to lay on his keyboard.

I think I'm going to work this into a painting this summer. It might look okay all fancy'd up.

Learning C++ has been great fun so far. I used to make games on my graphing calculator in middle school, and some of that knowledge actually transfers over.

[NOT INTERESTING] Games made in TI code:

- A "game" in which you press enter until you see a poorly-drawn dog.
- A version of drug wars that my teacher couldn't yell at us for having: School Wars. You could buy and sell pencils.
- An overhead Legend of Zelda Arena game where you fought in real time for gold to buy and use spells from Final Fantasy.
- Text-based Civil War strategy game.

The game I was working on before I lost my calculator was aimed to be a roleplaying deal in a town where you could do absolutely anything. Hundreds of hidden stats governed your efficiency and reactions in any given situation. I got the combat system down first because I was 12 and my ideal "do anything" town game needed a combat system.

I'm pretty set on Artificial Intelligence as the ideal career path, but pretty much anything that relates to robots / atmospheric gaming will keep me happy. Twelve hour shifts aren't a problem if I'm at a computer.
