8:31pm - I slept most of the day away again, so that stinks. I've got an interview tomorrow so I'm a bit anxious about that. I'll have to get up super early to wash up and get a haircut. But, I got up so late today that it'll be hard to sleep properly. It's frustrating.
I'm also really stressed out over what I'm doing with my project right now. I'm trying to read that book but I get a bad feeling when I do, then turn away from it and dive into other things. So that's not good.
I'm also hungry, but don't want to do anything about eating. So that's not good either. It's really hard to eat when you're hungry.
8:47pm - I ended up reading about the Subclass Sandbox pattern. It's an interesting pattern. It's hard to describe in an abstract way, though. The book compares it to superpowers. To implement a bunch of different superpowers you might have, you would need a class defining each power and how it worked. But each of those classes wants to do things like create visual and audio effects, manipulate game objects, etc. So the idea is to make each of them a subclass of a general superpowers class that provides indirect coupling instead of direct coupling to main systems. Instead of your laser telling the graphics system to make a ray, it tells the superclass to make a ray, and the superclass knows how to do that without having different rays etc. interfere with eachother.
9:04pm - Okay that's enough of the Subclass Sandbox pattern. I'll have to try and remember it, but I can't think of any way to use it in my current situation. Also I got Pizza Pops so I'm less hungry.
9:18pm - Type Object pattern is interesting but again it doesn't seem to relate to what I'm doing right now.
9:24pm - Next comes the Component Pattern, the big one I need to focus in on since it's tied so much to how Unity works. But I'm feeling really overwhelmed right now, so I'm going to try and chill out with a game.
12:05pm - Well I played for an hour or two, then felt kinda bad so I curled up in bed. Now I'm on the call with the guys. I don't think I can work more right now. I'll post more later on if I feel better.
