If you read this blog you know that I am kind of slow. I'm pretty much always the last one to pick up on things. And so many times, something will dawn on me and when I tell other people about my amazing epiphany, they look at me funny and voice their suprise that I just now realized that.
I think I just had one of those moments as I was learning Unity scripting etc today. We've all heard the term 'getting up to speed'. I've never really thought about that term. I just accept it as being going from n00b to functional in a given task, tool, etc.
But as I'm learning Unity3D it has gone from some mystical anomaly of GUI interface and nebulous C# scripting of some sort to a surprisingly straightforward gamedev IDE. I can already envision how I will be accomplishing some of the things I will need. I understand beyond what the helpful videos are showing me.
I am getting up to speed. And finally that term took on meaning. When you begin to accelerate, it's tough. It is painfully slow and requires constant effort. But as you get up to your cruising speed, it becomes much easier to work out how you will solve problems, or even what problems you will be needing to solve.
I just now realized this.
