I hit a low point about a month ago in terms of my productive adventure with learning AS3. I couldn't take my games to the next level without learning Arrays and Loops. After spending 14 hours a day for 5 days doing trials and fails, endless forum searches and research, I learned so much about arrays and loops. So many damn ways to use them for games. However, I could not figure out how to use them in my current prototype game. Having all this new found knowledge yet not being able to implement it was rather disheartening. I took a break from programming. Then I ended up slacking in other areas of my life. I started procrastinating on all of my homework for my college class instead opting to play video games. Started falling behind in all aspects of my life. Flash forward month later and I started (very little by little) programming again. Now, three days back, I have cracked the code so to speak. I was able to get arrays and loops working in my prototype game. It's just like everything clicked! Struck by lightening. Lightbulb went off. You get the idea.

It's funny but since the past few days where I went back to programming to make games - everything in my life started to feel balanced again. Maybe I need to program/make games. Or maybe this just confirms that being an indie game dev truly is my passion. Well, one of them anyways. Whatever it may be I am happy that I am back on track with all aspects of my life and I am ready to tackle new challenges that await me.
