Coding things (badly), drawing and explaining things (less badly).

2/3:

Here is the first project I worked on - a little plane game where you press W and S to make the plane avoid some obstacles. It's part of Unity's "Junior Programmer Pathway" and while I recommend it, I do think it's helpful to have some familiarity with coding before trying it as it doesn't explain the coding side of things that deeply (although you can post questions). I also heavily recommend using ChatGpt (preferably 4 instead of 3.5 if you can afford it) alongside it.

1/3: CW: mental health, self-harm, su*cide

Almost 7 weeks ago, I was hospitalised after a su*cide attempt.

Since the day after I got out, I've been keeping myself busy by doing some coding every day (I'm up to day 43, and I'm trying to do 150 days).

I'm going to try and document my learnings here - partly to motivate myself, partly to help anyone else who is learning, and partly to create a record of recovery after a su*cide attempt (I'm hoping this will help others going through similar).

"I don't want science to be political" is also saying "I don't want science to inform public policy" and perhaps some people do feel that way, but I don't want those people near science or public policy.
