So this week I tried coding.
It was a bit frustrating and a bit fun. For the most part, the experience was an experience in me swearing while bashing at my keyboard, angrily trying to figure out how any of this was supposed to work. But when I did figure it out, it turned out to be a lot of fun.
Despite how annoyed I felt when I had to go back and figure out where my code had gone wrong, I liked learning about the process, how extensive coding actually is, and the feeling of satisfaction when I actually did something right.
Plus, now I have so much sympathy for people who code for a living. That stuff is real hard.
I played three of the coding games, but my favourite by far was the Flappy Bird one. I completed that one in the shortest amount of time, and I actually enjoyed it, though I did also like the Minecraft game.

Overall, while at times frustrating, coding was a fun experience and taught me a lot about how much work it is to create a functional code. I walked about from this assignment with an appreciation for the complexity of coding, and the hope that I never have to do it again.
