Learning scala the fun way

Last week I had the privilege to start learning scala programming. Thank you my employer. It was only a one day sneak peek, but it was very informative – with mind challenging exercises. In the end, a link was given to Scalatron, which is a bot game where You code the intelligence of your bot. It seems somewhat similar that mikrobitti had years and years ago known as botwars (cannot really recall the actual name though) which was written in Java. Is there a better way to learn new programming language, than coding a game?

Must try it out, and learn more… need moar time…

Mountain is gone

Some work in progress images for you. The mountain has been finally turned into building blocks, and the middle ring wall of south-western corner has been built. Also some progress with the main entrance has been made. Let the images speak for themselves.

Although it is all a lieThe middle ring rises itself so high, that it covers the land below it.

Main entrance from shoreThe main entrance seen from opposite shore. On left can be seen the other mountain to be turned into building blocks. The wall goes through the mountain.

Obawangchicheng taking shape

Just wanted to share how things are building up. The task has proven to be epic. Perhaps, in the end of this year, it will be ready 😯
