Hey dere! Red-Kun here, happy as always!

Well, not completely.

The new version of Red-Kun vs. Shark Sandwich was blammed, whatever.

The one sad bit of news outta the way, what have I been doing this past... what, few weeks?

Well, there's a simple answer. I've been animating of course (Valentine's Day short coming out by tomorrow) but there's been something else interesting I've been doing. If you follow me on teh social medias (you probably don't) you would know I've been learning programming in C. Why, you may ask? Well, why else? Flash.

I've always wanted to try my hand at programming, but never knew how to start. That is, until I decided to look up some sources. Through some research, I discovered the wonderful power of OpenFL and FlashDevelop.

Now, I relished the idea of using these with a few tutorials to immediately learn how to make flash games.

This... of course, was an idiotic fantasy. Programming is a lot harder than I initially thought, and I understood none of what the tutorials were telling me. I tried to understand why, and then actually kicked myself when I realized what it was.

The tutorials weren't teaching beginners to programming how to program Flash. They were teaching people who already had a few programming languages how to program Flash.

Of course, me being the nooby little idiot I am, I continued on trying to learn Flash with no prior knowledge. I failed miserably.

So then, I looked for a solution, and learning C is where I started.

I've been looking over a few tutorials online and I'm starting to get an understanding of C. I've already programmed a few joke .bat files for my friends, printing out pixel art penises and the like, so I had somewhat of a base.

So, here's how my planned cycle of programming will go.

Simple.bat understanding --> Good understanding of C --> Good understanding of C++ --> Able to create decent games with Adobe Flash --> Wherever the road leads me

I get that I'm still young and I've got a massively long way until I stop being filled with naivety, but still.

Reading to the end of my post fills you with DETERMINATION.

This has been a not so quick update from your least favorite idiot, Red-Kun. Buh-bye.
