Am I boned?

Post by Falco Girgis »

You tell me.

I have a 10 page paper due at midnight... that I haven't even started. This paper counts as my final exam grade for CPE321. The topic? The Elysian Shadows Engine.

Can I do it?

You know, in all honesty. I think the hardest part about making a game is coming up with the name...

Dude, you are so wrapped up and passionate about this project, you could write 20 pages. I have faith.

EDIT: lol, I just realized I voted Yes. :P Ah well, I still have faith.

Boned: Only if you don't get it done :)
Can you do it: Defiantly, 10 pages should be easy for you especially considering the topic

I would like to write it in a manner that I could share it on the site and have it be insightful. I'm not sure that I will be able to due to time constraints, haha.

You can definitely rattle off a paper on your own projects. Hell you make videos, news posts, and forum entries BSing about your project all the time. As long as you can keep it some what clean, you've got yourself an easy paper.

And to make sure that you put the porn away and type install Write or Die: http://lab.drwicked.com/writeordie.html

"Set a word count and time you want to write for. Then, set how you want the app to "remind" you if you stop writing—"Gentle" pops up a text box, "Normal" plays a harsh sound file, and "Kamikaze" mode slowly deletes back from your stopping point until you get back to it."

Dear god, they actually ported ES to a piece of celery!

Set it to 90 WPM in Kamikaze mode.. that ought to force you to get it done pretty fast.

I'd add one but it'd reset the poll =)

I think it went pretty well. I was literally working until the last minute. Submitted it with something like 10 minutes left on the clock.

In ten pages, I really couldn't go into too much detail. It turned out being more of an extremely general "engine design theory" paper rather than being Elysian Shadows specific.

So guess what? I went to class yesterday to find that he pushed the due date back a week...

Good, now I get time to fix up my extremely half-assed bibliography and work maybe another dozen "good" sources into my paper.
