Likely this will be creating a lot more work for myself but it's been a wonderful learning experience so far.</p> <p>I'm involved with #100DaysOfCode community on Twitter (I'm on round 2, day 74 currently... thinking about going for the #301DaysOfCode this time around... we'll see how I feel at the end of this round). Because of this, I program daily and am constantly trying to learn more. I'm definitely addicted to the code!</p> <p>Hopefully within the next 6 months I will have something to demo as this has been a project I've wanted to see come to fruition for quite sometime and I feel I finally have enough knowledge to see it come to light!</p> <p>If anyone has any resources (specifically regarding learning SDL / more advanced C++ (I know enough to get myself in trouble haha)), I'd love to have a look!</p> <p>I just discovered this community after finishing Hacktoberfest so figured I'd write up something about what I'm currently working on!</p> <p>I also have a blog I just started a couple of days ago where I post my progress as I learn, to anyone who may be interested: <a href="https://beeferiksonstudios.wordpress.com/blog/">https://beeferiksonstudios.wordpress.com/blog/</a></p> <p>Hope you are all having a great day/night and happy coding!! \o/</p> cpp github beginners hacktoberfest Beef Erikson Wed, 02 Oct 2019 06:59:15 +0000 https://dev.to/beeferikson/first-hacktoberfest-completion-15li https://dev.to/beeferikson/first-hacktoberfest-completion-15li <p>I just finished my very first Hacktoberfest! </p> <p>This was a great time and I anticipate doing many more pull requests before the event is over. It was a great way to get me involved in added to the open source community and it feels good to get extra practice in on "real-world" projects!</p> <p>While I didn't do anything too complicated, I'd never done anything with Git other than my own personal projects. It was great to learn how to contribute and I look forward to participating in more events like this in the future!</p> hacktoberfest html cpp
