It was also a good reminder for me of how the structures of programming work. It was interesting hearing someone describe programming from a game developer's perspective. A lot of the things the author said in this chapter coincides with basic things my dad has always taught me about programming, like how you learn more and more as you program how stupid computers are, or how you should always search online to see if you can adapt someone else's code for your needs. The author also mentions early that in order to learn how to program well, you have to be interested in learning on your own, specifically mentioning that he became a game dev because he was far more interested in lea...
