Making faster progress and feeling somewhat liberated with moving to the independent challenges in Phase 1 Framework. Nearly done and working on the Guided Missile.
Finished the Thrusters, Shield Strength, Ammo Count, Ammo Collectables, and Health Collectables challenges. Taking the requirements from a regular text document and turning it into a functioning game without hand holding. Able to exercise the principles taught in the first part of the course to crank through the challenges. Was like the old proverb about if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Now I am realizing the hammer has a claw, and new more standard ways to better achieve results. In particular with cross script communication.
Also some great work with the team leads to onboard new people, come up with a new team structure, and better managing the increasing number of people. It’s a challenge to spend time working as a team lead and make progress on the course while being pulled in different directions. Long days, but good challenges where I feel growth in working with people and developing my technical skills.
