Last day at 1st Playable 11/19/15

    Today is my last day interning at 1st Playable. I shadowed three meetings about a project that they were working on. The first one went for about an hour about ideas on what is needed to be fixed for the art. It was interesting because there were only 3 people in total and in the meeting they said ideas and problems that were needed to be addressed. The second one I shadowed, the team that was working on one specific game got together and told about problems in the code and what needed to be adjusted. They said different ideas on what to do and they learned from each other what programs there are to help fix certain problems they were having. The third meeting was a conference/phone call with a client. There were 5 people listening to a conference call and had questions for the client on what their goal was. They had a google document open in order to take notes on deadlines and on the different tasks they were given. I silently watched as they listened and took notes. It was a great experience to have so know I know what it is like to be a computer scientist at first playable.

Code Academy

I use this website in order to learn the different coding languages that I need to know. By learning these languages, I know the basics of what I need to know in order to understand what people are doing in companies that use coding.

1st Playable

This is the company that I got to internship at for a month once a week. I would shadow a worker and then test some of the games they were working on in order to find the bugs.

www.roblox.com 

This is the website and MMO game I am using in order to begin scripting a game that people are able to play. This is more headed toward younger kids. I am taking what I learned in scripting and applying it to the studio in order to make the game.

Emma Codes

This is a club that dedicates in helping people that have an interest in coding to pursue it. This gives me the practice I need to learn how to work on group projects, even if they are small.

Emma Codes 11/7/15

        I am part of a club that is called "Emma Codes". The purpose of the club is to teach people with an interest of coding to help pursue that interest by learning about the basics of coding. In the club last week, we were shown some videos on what coding can be used in real life for and how safe technology really is. Then after that we were shown a tutorial on the basics of java script. After given the tutorial we go onto khan academy in order to make a picture and use the code that we just learned. This in order to reinforce what we just learned and have an idea of what it is used for. The coding club is a great opportunity to learn about coding and help other's interests in it.
