My Programming Blog

Programming is not a very easy thing to do, it is very hard. However, there was a website that explains the basics of programming.

I have made two video games through programming. The bricks game I created was tough, but the boxes game I made was even tougher.

To make these games, first I added the objects, then I put in the instructions, and finally I played the game. For example, when I added the character, I had to say that it was controlled by the mouse, and that it could only be in certain places. For the ball, I had to tell the program that it was a bouncing ball. When the ball hits something, it bounces. When the brick is hit by the ball, it breaks. These are the instructions for the bricks game that I made with this program. Those instructions are for programming. After playing it, I added a few things to the game.

When professional programmers make games or programs, they do something a lot like this. However, the programming they do is a lot harder. For instance, they use programming languages like Java or Javascript. These languages are object oriented. This means they are like what I did, they focus on each object and what it does.
