I just had an interesting theory while learning about constants. (though it doesn't pertain directly to them)

As children grow and mature, their imagination and wonderment is filled with reason and rational thought. I imagine this is similar in the world of programming and game design in general. Preconceived solutions during problem solving will to a degree hamper imagination, innovation, and block you from that "Ahh ha!" moment. Interesting video on evoking the "Aha" moment.

Just a thought I felt like sharing with the community.  Grin

Yeah, theory can make you afraid of doing it wrong, shutting down your instincts, which are important.

You are already late.

Is this an attempt to be witty, simply rhetorical, or do you have a point?
I ain't no goddamn witty nor simply rhetorical.

I was able to get my Objective-C program to read and write a Diablo 3 profile to a .txt file last night. Now whether or not I want to do anything with that information is another question. Right now I'm taking some of that knowledge and using it to save out some data inputted by the user, and display it on a table with some calculation involved. Not quite game development yet, but software development is a start. Smiley

IMMEDIATELY

There are some other people who have given equally curt answers (okay now mine is way too long and it is no longer among the short&sweet). You should have started six years ago, or at least the moment you thought you might be interested.

But you can always start right now.

The thread began with a bit of personal history, and an evolutionary crossroads. From there it has morphed into design and learning theory which is fine by me. I feel the question was answered, and some interesting conversation was had. The future of the thread is a bit unknown.

What I do know, is that Jeremiah Johnson gif slays me every time.
