Either this engine is dusty or is it just my mind. As I started to integrate a camera into my engine, I had to surf through the folder hierarchy that I set up about a year ago to find the exact files I was searching for. “Where is this file, where is that file” were the questions that kept plaguing me. While I had fun enhancing this project, I was kicking myself for the extreme lack of comments. What in the world was I thinking when I was writing this!? Little to no comments!?
All I wanted to do is integrate a ready-built camera, however, my crappy camera was everywhere and I spent majority of my time looking for it and removing it from code. Learning my folder structure took some time as well. It was one of those moments where you want to blame the author… yeah.
Aside from the troubles, it was fun to look and fix my old project. It has a new breath of life and I plan to make it better than it was. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t plan on making this the next big engine but its fun to work on something that I have very little experience on and it also helps my programming skills. I did manage to get the camera working but it gave birth to other issues. It is very true that when you fix and/or integrate code, you introduce new bugs and exploits that need to be fixed. This is no different for me currently.
So I’ll still be working toward integrating this camera. We’ll see what new adventures await me in doing so. Later.
I know how you feel. Keep it up though!
Thanks for your words of encouragement, Katherine. I’ll make the best of this mole hill.
