The Difficulties of Making a Game

After working on my game for the past school year I now have a newfound appreciation for the time and effort that goes into developing video games.What gave me the most trouble with this project would most definitely have to be coding. I've heard people who have said that coding is really easy and maybe it is if you have formal training, but for me, it felt nearly impossible.I had all these good ideas for my game that worked well on paper, but when I went to actually add it in, I had no idea how to implement it. Learning to code almost seems like learning a new language to me, as there are so many terms and phrases that you need to get acquainted with in order to do it effectively. Another problem that hampered my project were periods of creativity blocks in which I could not come up with any good ideas. Now that the final presentation draws near, I see that despite my failures throughout the project, I definitely worked hard and I have a lot to show for it. I just hope that the presentation itself goes well.

The bane of my existence.
