Stressful Shopper

The Process

This project was the beginning of my programming journey. Previously I had had little to no exposure to coding and the mindset required for it. To say that it was a shock when I first started coding was an understatement, I lacked the experience and some of the understanding which provided me with quite the challenge. However this did not steer me away but rather encouraged me to push forward. I purchased courses on Udemy and followed tutorials and I soon built a solid understanding of the C# language.

I gained a greater understanding on how to use GitHub, a source control software that allowed me to work on this project both at home and in class.

I am still working on this game as a project on the side, using it to skill up in many aspects of game development.

I was tasked with creating an original game concept, having to come up with all the mechanics, game loops, control/input systems, as well as even factoring in the target platform for game optimization.
