What Happened today

Today I have created my blog site and looked on my computer to see what I have to complete before I have to I present this to the panel in November and I have to do a lot of work to be complete with this project.

What is Video Game Programming?

Video Game Programming is a group of people that work together to bring joy to the future teens and children's faces when they come together and create something that is fun, fast passed, or either hard or easy to pay when your bored or want to have a good time with your friends or family. For me I want to create a full working video game for a graduation project for me to be able to graduate from high school. Right now I am on the final stretch of the game in the time of my creation I have had a lot of problems with the program and me not being able to finish interviewing a video game programmer didn't go so well. But with all the time and help that I have gotten to finish a good portion of this project went well for me and my game. also when the game is completed I will give it to a gaming company to see if they will publish it and i will post it on here as a link.
