This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
Well, I like them!
As part of my application to be on Chingu Voyage 9, I am building a connect 4 project. The minumum requirement is that it be two-player and recognise a win/draw. I will try to get a random move generator for the computer to be one of the players. And, longterm, I will improve the level of play.
This will put me on tier two.
I currently work as a maths lecturer at college, but no longer feel like I am learning or growing in this career. I am learning modern coding techniques because I find it an enjoyable challenge.
I started programming in Basic on a Commodore 64. Yes, I am that old. I also have a vague memory of peek and poke. I could not manage machine code now! I also learnt Pascal, which lead on to Delphi as things modernised. I still have some of my Delphi programs. I uploaded them to a blog post. (Never really got into that habit).
My most recent learning has been JavaScript and React.
My aim is to get a job where I can feel I am developing skills and becoming an expert in something I enjoy -- I feel like I am growing as an amateur, but going pro will turbo-charge that.
First voyage. Hoping to make some contacts and find out what I should learn next to get ahead.
I've always been good at learning from a variety of sources. I don't always get things quickly, but I get them. I'm fairly flexable in my thinking and can change my mind -- even if I have begun down one road and need to change direction.
I respond well to criticism, and try to keep my own feedback friendly.
Lights-out is my favourite project so far. I would do it differently already. But I don't even think that version is finished. It works, but there are a hundred things I could add or improve.
