My first dive into programming with a game

This all started in the year 2018 when i first thought of making a mobile game with no knowledge. Yes, zero knowledge.

I got inspired by watching a youtube video of how to make a game in unity. Why a game, I was very crazy for video games back then. I played for hours an enjoyed playing. I know everybody does. Games are really awesome especially when the graphics are breath taking.

So, when i came across that video it inspired me to try and make one so i followed the tutorial installed all the required software and started to work on it(Yeah)...

But... To tell you the truth i didn’t understand a single thing in that software(which was unity) and the codes i wrote in the beginning(all the complex calculations of physics and maths) it was in c# and I didn't had an idea what it was.?, I was just following the video like a dummy for few days. Man it was frustrating...

But then i followed more tutorials as i was eager to learn and at last built a game... Kind of... I wouldn’t call it a game, I don't know what to call it but for now let’s call it a game.

OK, now what I made, Big Time, It only walks and jumps, yes you heard me, It only walks and jumps. It is a game of an early man age. But yes, the character on my game can do a moon walk, unbelievable right.... Here it is...

Yes, I know the quality is poor but this is what I only have as a record of that moment.

But, after this game my whole journey of stepping into the world of programming began and eventually started learning different languages and frameworks. And now here i am developing Android and web app. A lot more better than when i first began.

So, this was it how it all began, Thanks for reading if you did.
This is my first blog so its kind of gibberish, hopefully will try to get better at it until then see you next time...
