As someone who has previously worked with code, this new unit in class has been easier for me than most. About one year ago, my big sister taught me the basics of Python. The underlying logic and general structure carries over while I am learning C#. What doesn't carry over are the specific grammar rules and naming conventions that frustrate me to no end. Nothing is more infuriating than spending 5 minutes writing a section of code and 20 minutes looking for the typo that destroys the entire process. Coding as a task isn't a measure of creative ingenuity or innate skill. Coding is a task that rewards patience and careful, methodical work. This puts me and my general disposition at odds with coding. Nevertheless, in order to succeed in creating games, coding is essential. This is a hurdle that me and everyone else in the class must jump, I am confident we can make it.

In this post I will be reviewing the chrome no Wi-Fi dinosaur game, yes that Dinosaur Game. Although simple the game is actually quite enjoyable once you get to the faster gameplay as the score gets higher. I find it quite satisfying to play the game while doing something else so that you are relying on your peripheral vision to dodge obstacles. Using that strategy makes you feel like a genius. The gameplay may fall on the linear side of things but when considered along traditional arcade games it actually holds quite well, because the core mechanics rely mostly on reflexes and timing. Even the visual style hearkens back to its arcade predecessors with the simple 8 bit design giving the game more simplicity in its design the audio on the hand was a bit annoying with beeps at a slightly higher pitch than I would have liked, so I usually play without audio. The interface was very simple only utilizing the space bar and up and down arrow keys to control the game. One thing that is very annoying about this game accessibility wise is that once your Wi-Fi comes back on you permanently lose the match you were on. I rate this game a solid 3 stars because it is perfect for when you are in a place without wifi, although compared to triple A games it lacks many things.
