Onward!

Once again, Syd and I have been working on learning Java in order to begin coding our app. In addition to this, I have finished a possible design plan to design to, to better facilitate future goals. I have also begun to become more and more sufficient with HTML, meaning very basic web design is also a viability.

                Currently, my main goal is to work on Java lessons, as not knowing how to code for Android would be our main obstacle. In addition, I am also working on getting a working database for all the multiplayer enabled games on the Steam platform.

                For the future, more Java learning is always a huge goal. Along with that is becoming more familiar with the Android platform. My smartphone is an Android device, and so I can mess around and learn more about the OS and its capabilities. Even further ahead are the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network databases, as those also are huge gaming platforms.

Another Day

Over this week, Syd and I have begun to work on Java, as well as downloaded and messed around with Android Studio. I have started to look into how to import a database from another program, such as the Steam Library, so that we can legally use it in our app.

Currently, I am gearing up for the Google trip and more Java lessons, as well as working on HTML and CSS lessons. Along with all of this, I am still attempting to have this database accessible, and transferable, in order to facilitate a proper function in our app’s UI.

For the future, a completion of Java knowledge is the ultimate goal, but as that takes years, our current future is looking at ways to import other code to Java, and utilizing it. 

Keeping up with deadlines proposed and overcoming obstacles is the main focus, as the limited amount of time and beginner level Java knowledge hinder us.

Proposal

GameConnect; for those of us who need a gaming buddy at a moment's notice.
GameConnect will be an app that both Syd and I will be developing for our 20% project. It would be an app similar to Tinder, but rather than for dating, it would be for finding an online gaming buddy. One could search up a game, see who else is willing to play that game, see what times they are available to play said game, and even leave reviews about that person!
