Day 21

I left today feeling really accomplished with the work I presented at IPM. Last week could have gone better as I’ve likely mentioned in earlier posts. There was a lot of repeat mistakes I made that I wanted to fix after last week’s IPM. I feel as though I took a lot of advice and improved on it.

Going into my IPM, I was a bit nervous given last week’s result, but I was extra critical with improving my entertainment factor, being the ringleader of the meeting, and ensuring that my work is acceptable in the parameters I was given. I ended up leaving the meeting with everything being accepted and not having to have repeat advice, but instead new constructive criticism to take into my next week!

For this next iteration, I have a lot of additions to add onto my Tic-Tac-Toe board. In theory, they don’t seem super difficult, but I can tell they are there to challenge my ability to follow the SOLID principles better as I continue to design my project. I’d like to refactor some of my old code to better follow the discipline as I work on these new tasks.

For the rest of the day I finished up one of the smaller stories I had, which was just adding in error messaging on invalid inputs. Then I had enough time to get started on my multiplayer implementation which I intend to work on most tomorrow.
