  Today I've joined  Game Off 2022 which is an annual game jam hosted by GitHub. This is the second game jam I'm participating. I'm planning to use LÖVE 2D framework and make something cool. I'll keep you updated about my game throughout the jam. 

Hello!  Currently I'm using GDevelop for Game Development. It's the only game engine I know.  Recently I've been researching about other game engines/frameworks because I want to try out some other options. The reason is there might be a better one than GDevelop that suits me. I decided to learn a game framework instead of a game engine. When using a game framework, we have to write everything so I can improve my programming skills. Another reason I want to try a game engine is I want to participate in GitHub Game Off jam this year. I think creating something using only code is better for this game jam because we have to open source our project.  Then I decided to learn  LÖVE 2D . I started following a game development course on freeCodeCamp YouTube channel. I'll keep posting about my LÖVE 2D journey. 😊

 I'm really happy today because I completed my challenge task successfully. It was a bit difficult at first.

 I completed 4 weeks at EchonLabs. This week, I did a lot of tasks.

Today I completed the first task assigned to me. 🥳 I feel very satisfied and proud of myself for completing this task. I'm really happy that I chose the career I'm passionate about.  The task I was assigned was to modify the confirmation popup boxes such as DELETE and RESTORE in a way that is common in the app. I had to change the layout of the popup box by adding an icon, adding additional text, changing the color of the primary button, and aligning the title and the icon. I also had to replace all the confirmation popup boxes in the app.  One of the senior developers gave a KT session on how to do that and my supervisor and another senior developer helped me when things got difficult. However, finally, I could complete my task and push the changes successfully. ✅

Today, July 20th, I completed 3 weeks of my internship at EchonLabs.

Today is the last day of my second week of the internship. This week, I learned a lot about Angular. Some of the concepts I learned are, Component Interaction (using @Input and @Output ) View Encapsulation Local References Lifecycle Hooks Services and Dependency Injection Some special incidents that happened this week were participating in my first Standup meeting and Review meetings. The Project Manager, Senior Developers, and some Interns joined the Standup meeting. The participants gave an update about what they were doing. In the review meeting, our CEO explained the project we're going to build.  Now, I know how to manage my time. I start my work hours normally at 05.30 AM and try to cover 4 hours before 12.00 PM. Then it becomes easier to cover the 8 hours without staying late at night.
