So Digipen has been fun...

I've been at the Digipen Programming Level 3 Summer Workshop since last Monday. It was harder than Level 2.

So to start out... No cute girl like last year. Made some new friends. Got a DS at the Nintendo store. Learned the intricacies of ctrl-C and ctrl-v. learned that i hate capitalization while coding stuff. Discovered that the controls for Tetris Worlds for the Gamecube SUCK. Also got gipped on the SSBM tournament. Found out you can run Windows XP in a old Toshiba Pentium 1 ToughBook. 65% percent of the Junior workshop kids are immature little brats.

It seems oxymoronic but it helps if you have prior programming experience. I didn't. The students also tell you this if you ask them about prep for the first year.
I made a 3D pong clone this time. We had to use an engine that was similar to Wolfenstein-3D. It was fun for the most part.

The prepaid lunch was still hit or miss. Wouldn't have recommended chili if you are going to have a bunch of guys locked in a room for the next seven hours. The famous strawberry biscuit from last year didn't make an appearance thankfully. (Funny just checked archives and I never mentioned them. The name speaks for itself...)
