New Year, New Beginning, New Goal

First of all, happy new year to all. I wonder how many blogs are "created" during the first week of the year. I bet it's a lot more than the number that are still active after a few days. Hopefully this one'll keep going, and going, and going... But who knows. So that's about all for the "New Year" part.

The "New Beginning" is what this blog isn't going to track. I've been programming on and off for five or so years. But I feel like I've barely made any real progress. And that's why there's a new beginning. I'm starting over, although not completely, but in many respects. I'm going to be going over things I already know and it'll be frustrating but, I've got to do it. I've got to round off everything I know. I'm going to start with the basics, DirectX 3D. I'll do the tutorials and what not and then move on and move up. But to where?

The "New Goal" is where this is all going to end. By the end of the year, I want to be in the industry, or at least at a level where I should be in the industry. I haven't figured out what skills I want exactly, I have some ideas.

For now though, it's time to start reading some DirectX, then Bullet, then I plan on making a hunting prototype based on some AI ideas I've come up with. Hopefully it'll work, maybe it won't. Then OpenGL... It's going to be fun.
