0Daily progress: The home stretch! Learning about the Unity profiler.

Oct 29, 2021

Wow! What a journey it’s been! I’ve now programmed my first space shooter game, learned game programming in various styles from 2d, 2.5d, and a simple zombie fps to learning about more serious applications that take advantage of Augmented Reality and Amazon services! While I’m learning about optimization, I’ll also be attempting to create some games so stay tuned!
