What’s that? A New Page? Introducing Published Apps!

Ticky Tacky Toey Header image, with the name of the app and an X and OI finally got enough free time to sit down without a project at hand. I decided to try something new: make an Android app from scratch. But, let’s face it, free time is precious. Most of my side projects are huge, big things that I won’t complete for months. What’s a gal to do?

I decided to set my sights on a simple app. Getting back to my roots, I wanted to make it a game. I started programming making games, whether it was blackjack for my Casio calculator so I wouldn’t be so bored in study hall (it used a version of BASIC!), or working on a Zelda-like MMORPG, games were always my primary focus.

So, I settled on Tic-Tac-Toe.

I’ll admit, it took about as much time to set up a Google Play publishing account and publish this thing (needlessly complicated process there, Google), but I did it! I completed a side project. Take that, programmer stereotypes!

First pannel: Man thinking, building a house out of cinder blocks. "There we are, nearly done. Just a few more hours and this thing will be up and running..." Second pannel: "Oh, wait," he exclaims, "I just had an idea..." Third pannel: Thinking, "Let's try out that new framework, just for fun." Fourth pannel: He's building a house of wood. Final pannel: Friend comes along, says "Starting another side-project, are we?" Original guy responds, "Yeah... well no actually, I've nearly finished the other one so I just wanted to test out this other thing." In the background, half-finished houses litter the landscape.

Now, with a page and far too few apps on it, I’ll just have to keep working!
