My first time venturing into coding was in 8th grade, when I was bored in math class. I knew that my calculator could do so many amazing things, but I wanted to find a way to pass the time quicker.
The first things that I coded were simple things, such as the simple “hello world” command and text graphics. Learning how to code was not as simple as I thought it would be, trial and error for hours just trying to figure out how to make a letter move is not fun or simple. I later found some websites to help me code more difficult games such as snake and rock paper scissors. I never really tried to code games by myself at first, I just tried to find the source code for a really cool game and then copy it down on my calculator. This method of making games wasn’t going to be very helpful in learning how to create games by myself. The game that I make the most right now is a simple movement program, in which you can move around and just have fun. I really need to learn how to use some more of the commands so that I can start to make more graphically advanced programs. Ti-basic is not the only language I have started to learn, a little bit of python and javascript have made its way into my games as well. I hope that soon I will be able to program full games in code.

Pub-G is a battle royale style shooting game where you drop onto an island and battle it out with the other players to be the last one standing.
What I like about this game is the multitude of maps and game modes available, which makes it easier to engage and not lose interest quickly. One of the maps that I really like is the Vikendi map; this map is a snow filled island that has many little huts and villages tucked away into pine forests. Vikendi is a good map to ambush people/snipe which requires a lot of skill to do. One of the game modes that Pub-G has to offer is zombies mode. This mode is exactly what you think it is, with different types of zombies crawling all over once the fog comes out. There are boss zombies on the map that you can take out to get really good guns and gear to defeat the other players quicker and more efficiently. Something that the creators of Pub-G did very well in my opinion, was placing more emphasis on the shooting aspect of the game instead of what fortnite did, which was make some players better just because of building. Being able to get good at the game quicker makes it really fun and a lot less frustrating just getting eliminated over and over again. Overall, Pub-G is a great game that’s easy to play and has so many options that make sure you’ll never get bored. |
