I watched this video by Christopher Okhravi this morning as he outlines the object oriented programming (OOP) design principles within the context of a Pokémon game. First, to his credit, this was an awesome idea to take something so near and dear to many people’s hearts and make it into a tutorial. I have always found the best way to learn anything, even the theoretical/not so entertaining parts is to have the subject matter be something you are passionate about.
He does an exceptional job explaining so many concepts that I don’t even use on a day to day basis and it has inspired me to go look at my work to see if any of those ideas are applicable (PHP permitting).
That being said, It got me wanting to work on a project to streamline RPG character sheets. Or just for fun to take on a concept of my own. So I wanted to give this channel and video a bump as it is an excellent model of object oriented programming.
My next post will show an outline of where I want to go with the project!
