I hate cold opens, even to a blog

So the idea for this is really shrimple, from the 1st - 7th of january i'm gonna learn how to make games in godot, then from the 7th - 14th i'm going to enter a gamesjam and... well, yeah. Make a game.

Ez!

This might not sound all that possible but I have a few things working in my favour:

1. I'm a youtuber and this will make a good video so i'm willing to dedicate all my time over the two weeks to it, well as much as my adhd will let me anyway
2. Before being a youtuber I did a wee bit of software development as a fullstack/backend focussed developer
   1. for 10 years
      
   2. i was a senior
   3. i'm a polyglot (js is my fave language, don't @ me, your take is irrelevant and probably stupider than you think)
   4. and i'm one of those 'unit test all the things!' weirdos
3. actually i don't have three things

uhhh anyway so i'm dropping the punctuation this is a blog, i don't care enough about this to have more than commas and fullstops maybe an exclam here or there. so, day one! that was like, just reading the documentation for godot, lots of godot doc reading and i built the 2dgame example that i think everyone builds, the avoid the creeps game

i didn't really do much more than what was required and i didn't bother doing some stuff like setting a background colour or resizing the creeps because i already learnt to resize the player

so day one was pretty simple really, obviously i'm gonna forget stuff and get stuff wrong and whatever but the docs are pretty easy to navigate and i've learnt weirder more esoteric api's before so it'll be chill

i'm going with gdscript, despite being drammatically more familiar with c# i looked at the list of current dumb bugs and gotchas and i realised it would slow me down more than simply learning a new language, so yeah, learning a new language... again! for the nth time tbh!

uh yeah anyway, tomorrow is like, making a game for myself
