Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this project, codename “Warrior Returns,” for a while now. It’s been a real rollercoaster, let me tell you. I started with this big idea, you know, like everyone does.
First, I dusted off my old coding skills. It felt like forever since I’d really dug into anything substantial. I spent a good few days just getting reacquainted with everything, setting up my workspace, and choosing the right tools. It was like meeting an old friend after a long time – familiar, but also a bit awkward at first.
The Grunt Work
Then came the actual work. I started building the foundation, piece by piece. It was slow going, honestly. Lots of trial and error. I’d write some code, test it, break it, fix it, and then repeat the whole process.
- Building the core engine – this took forever!
- Fleshing out the user interface – surprisingly tricky.
- Connecting everything together – a real headache at times.
I hit so many walls. Seriously, there were times I just wanted to throw my computer out the window. But I kept pushing, kept googling, kept asking for help on forums. Slowly, painfully, things started to come together. It Was so annoying, I spent almost all the time for this.
Seeing the Light
And then, finally, I had something that actually worked! It wasn’t perfect, not by a long shot, but it was something. I ran the program, and it didn’t crash! I clicked a button, and something happened! It was a small victory, but it felt huge.
I’ve still got a long way to go. Lots more to build, lots more to refine. But for now, I’m just enjoying this moment. It’s a good feeling to bring something back to life, even if it’s just a bunch of code. I keep going, until it completed.
