June 2023 Update

Published on 4 July 2023.

This is what I’ve been up to in June 2023:

• I continued writing about the development of the balloon shooter game. The actual development is already done, and I’m still playing catch up with the articles. Here are the ones that I wrote this month:

  • Does TDD work when building a game?
  • Spawn multiple balloons
  • Multiplayer

• I had a discussion with Ron about high-level vs micro-tests. I wrote about it in High-level or micro-tests? A discussion with Ron.

• I couldn’t resist the urge to start working on my own video editor software. I will write a blog post (or maybe a new series?) about it. In the meantime, the code is on GitHub. I am really not that good at naming my projects. They all start with “rl” plus the general function of the software:

  • rlvideo: My video editor.
  • rlmeta: My meta compiler.
  • rliterate: My literate programming tool.
  • rlselect: My interactive line searcher tool.
  • …

• Last month I wrote about that I started a new project: animation studio. I have since successfully used it to create some animations for a video. Now that I’ve started working on my own video editor, I’m thinking that I want to integrate that functionality into the video editor instead of developing it further. We’ll see.

• I published one programming video on my Youtube channel:

  • Spawn multiple balloons | Agile Game Development with Python and Pygame (part 5)
