Ship #1

Hello guys! I am happy that I am finally able to ship Poopsweeper. I had worked a lot on this project and was heavily motivated at the start of it, but sadly I started slacking off in the last few days. However, I could push through it and finally finish the project. It was my most challenging idea so far, because of the logic of the whole game. Although most of the time I was really frustrated with it because I just couldn’t figure out how it had to work, I eventually got it to work. I had used AI for this project, but only for explaining stuff (more in the readme). When I showed my progress to my friends, they were all amazed by it and even started playing it in their free time. A funny memory I got from the project was when I was nearly finished with it, and I decided to show it to my I.T. teacher, Mr. John, who is a really interesting figure. He is funny-looking and acts funny, so most of the time we have a laugh about him. When he tried the game, he criticized the name of the project, saying that it’s inappropriate and that I should work on my naming. After he tried the game and failed, he just said “good”, which we then started laughing at because of the way he said it. I am really thankful to Stardance for getting me to do something and actually improve my skills and even rewarding me. Here is how the game works: the game is basically just a Minesweeper variant that has dog poop and bags instead of the traditional mines and flags. The idea came from my dog, Csoki. He is the reason why I was so motivated to finish this whole project. The whole game has about 1058 lines of code :)
