So I was sitting around yesterday bored out of my mind. Seriously. I started staring at the fish on my desktop.

I was trying to look for something to do. Searched DC++ for some games to play, didn’t really work. Tried to watch a movie, wasn’t in the mood. Do homework? It was a Saturday. No one does homework on Saturday.

Then I thought, I kinda want to learn Blender and 3D modeling and texturing. You know, do some animation and game programming. If I wanted to do animation, I’d have to learn some video editing. And for game programming, I’d have to learn DirectX programming and more C++. So, I ended up making a list of stuff I wanted to learn.

The List

  • DirectX
  • Advanced Game Programming
  • More C++
  • Blender/3D Modeling/Textures
  • Basic Animation
  • Basic Video Editing
  • iPhone App Development
  • Android Development

Yeah that’s a lot of stuff but it’ll give me something to do if I ever fall into “help I’m bored out of my mind” state again. If it ever does happen I can just refer to the list and google up some tutorials.

I tried to start learning Blender but Windows 7 had some problems with it and I didn’t feel like booting up the Vista partition. So I just spent the rest of the day doing nothing.

Yeah I know. I’m lazy. I should probably actually try to accomplish stuff on the list instead of just making one for fun but you know what? Screw you. Just keeeeding. Haha.

I think I’ll start with DirectX/Game/C++.

  1. That’s an interesting list, I wouldn’t mind trying my hand at most of those things, but for now I wanna try to learn parallel programming, but i’m too lazy to even research it.

  4. hey, turner’s teaching us DirectX this year. dont they teach u in college?

    and i’d go for android development first. but that’s just me.

  5. Yeah I know he’s teaching you guys. Wish he would’ve taught us. And I’m not taking that class yet. Probably next semester.

    I can’t do android stuff till I get the phone.
