So I was searching along...

I found Game Salad!  Pretty awesome concept, AND I am already making graphics for the app that I am making with Game Salad!  I never thought I would come across such an easy FREE program!  Who would'a thought?  Anyhoo, just checking in.  Here is a link to GameSalad.


I was up until about... the crack of dawn when I came across it.  What is funny is, I have seen the mention of it before around the net, but I never even gave it a second thought.  Now I know what you are thinking... If you use GameSalad, you won't learn code, which was my original goal.  Ease your troubled mind dear sir or ma'am, I still fully intend to learn how to write scripts.  I just have a new first priority.  GET THAT APP TO THE APP STORE ASAP!  Just a matter of time people!


Heres some inspiration...

I can feel it.. cuz I can use some help!  LOL... 

A little clearer on which languages are better for XCODE now.

So it took me a few days to get my head right on which programming language to use for programming in Xcode.  I have found a pretty good book called Programming in Object-C and I think that is gonna do it for me.  I had already started reading my Java book and my old school c programming book, but I think I am gonna stick to the Objective C book because all of the examples use the Xcode SDK.  Even though it seemed like Java was an easier language to decipher and understand for me (or maybe I've just had more Java in my 'view source code' life than I've had C languages).  The good news is, I don't think it's impossible to learn, just may take a little longer than expected.

I still don't know at this point, because even though there are questions at the end of each chapter, I don't really have a way to gage how well I am doing.  It seems like understanding, barely, what is going on in these test programs is all I can do at this point.  Even though I have successfully written 8 or 9 small programs that output small phrases and fractions, I don't see how the vision that I have for my app could possibly get done with this little bit of information I am learning, any time soon.  Do I think or have the confidence at this point, now that I have made it to Chapter 3 in this book, that I will understand the language enough to execute the MAJOR IDEA I have for my app?  HELL to the NO!  Will I continue to try and learn it so I can?  YOU DAMN RIGHT I WILL!

If I have to turn it into a lifelong hobby, I am determined to write this program!  Gunna do it... Gunna do it.  So there you have todays post.  

A little inspiration for the evening...

AHH soothe the mind with the thought of the Aston Martin that I will be purchasing after the launch of my FABULOUS IDEAS!  (Hey that's how I'm thinkin... don't ruin it for me with mention of advertising and getting the app off the ground and all that JIVE TALK, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it... if I even get to it!)

I think that is about all for now, I just have to wait for this video to upload... so much pressure... so much anticipation.  The thought of sleep is literally annoying the crap outa me!  

HAAAA haha ha ha ha ha ha ah!  Patience is a virtue after all!  GOODNIGHT!
