Week's notes
This week was mostly about moving along on the final exam. I broke that up into a few nights to have time to think about things and go through the problems. It took a good amount of time to make things nice and there was a lot I didn't know before taking the test. Java interfaces for example was something I hadn't looked at much before. Interfaces provide a nice way to follow a pattern for your classes and the best article I found was on tutorials point of course. They seem to have the best info out there. The reason I had to look up interfaces was because of a question about using a publisher/subscriber pattern. The big thing I know about pub/sub is MQTT, a protocol for publishing and subscribing messages.
Aside from the test I need to get back on our team project. We stopped before doing our first refactor. Without moving the gamestate out of the main game loop we can't call ourselves a view/model/controller based program. So there is some more work to be done on that. I still haven't figured out JPA and how to get Java to work with MySQL though. That is my big concern for reaching assignment criteria, but more importantly for doing something interesting. Getting a good grade is less important than learning how to do interesting things.
