This weekend has been sleeping, cleaning and coding for me. Couple of weeks ago we made a new timetable and I decided to follow it better than the previous one. But once again, even though trying very hard, I didn't manage to do everything I planned for this week.
The thing about coding is that it is difficult to estimate how long writing a specific part of code takes. Some times coding goes smooth as silk and some times you bang your head to a wall for several hours. This weekend it's been 10% silk and 90% banging. The most frustrating part of coding is the moments when you can't figure out why the piece of code you just wrote doesn't work, even though you are so sure that it should work!
Basically coding is solving a problem after another. The trick is that not all the problems are of same difficulty. Some problems are easy to solve, and you can do them at first try, without any difficulty. Then there are problems you can't solve right away, but you need to learn some more about the language or software before solving them. Then there are the worst kind of problems, the ones that you will take several hours to crack, or in worst case, you can't find a solution at all...
As difficult as coding is, I must say that one of the best feelings there is, is to find a solution to a really tough problem. That feeling is one of the things that keeps me going until this game is finished!
