Changes, Changes, Changes

There were a couple of major changes during this week which now will affect the current state of things.  But first, I need to thank the first reader to contact me.  His name is Anton and he was asking if I am a student at Stanford.  Well, I am not an official student there, and all I do is basically self-education based on free CS courses anyone can download at iTunes U.  Still, it's the best one could actually manage to get to Stanford courses and studies without enrollment.  And there is secondary value in Anton's question which I am so thankfull:  now I know this project is public not only by name but by cold facts as well.  :)

Now to the changes.  Firstly, I've realized I went too quick through the lectures and the book and not all the information has settled just yet.  I need to slow down and review the previous materials, and do some more coding on those.  It's going to take a week or so, but that's what needs to be done in order to lay a better foundation for the future studies.

Secondly, there will be a slow down in 'Harakiri' game development.  I'm thinking about changing the approach to the code architecture, and while this is definitely not a complete "throw-away-start-from-scratch", it still will take time.  The main reason for me to do it is a thought that this game if it comes out nice may end up on Android platform (which uses Java as programming language).  Anyways, this is not exactly the goal, but if such opportunity comes up, the code should be ready to get changed easily and with appropriate style.

I am planning to finish watching the lectures very soon (in about couple of days), at the same time I'll be reviewing some of them and reading the textbook once again.
