First week

Alright, second dev log. What did I do last week?

Well, I spent the first three days writing everything down in the game dev doc, and I tried keeping up on Sololearn, but only did one lesson. I decided to pick up a game called Screeps: World because I knew it used JS for its commands. I was hoping it was going to have a tutorial about JS but no, not at all lol. What it did have though, was a link to Code Academy for JS. I started doing that, which was very easy to follow. I've done three days of that in a row as of writing this and plan on continuing the streak after words. I also googled around a bit to see what the best way to learn JS was and found a video I didn't watch that recommended some books for HTML and JS, so I ordered those. Only got the HTML one so far. Not too sure how useful it'll be at the moment. 

I think the GDD is in a pretty decent spot. It gives me a clear goal and list of stuff I want in it. If you happen to come across this game and these logs, give it a look! I wasn't able to attach it as a PDF so the google docs link will have to do. Hopefully I don't mess up viewing perms.

So, what have I learned for JS so far? Well, I've learned what feels like a firm grasp of what's really possible with the language, which is nice. I went over the first "19%" of the Code Academy course, so that covered things like adding strings together, basic arithmetic, console.log...  I need to look into finding documentation for every object I think they're called. basically the other things that go where the .log is. Hoping it shows me how to loop things so I can get some real interactivity going this week and maybe even start working on getting the tower "built".

Content warning for the GDD: weird fetish shit. Skip those sections if you don't like it, there's probably going to be toggles for all content. 

Well, that's about all I can think of writing for this week's log. Here's the rest of the stuff.
