I’ve spent the entire morning (about 6 hours now) working on a programming project, and I’m not even close to being done. I spent the weekend trying to make sure I really understood the source material before I started coding, and while I do understand on a conceptual level, actually coding this beast is something entirely different. I’m going to go bald from pulling my hair out over this.
On top of the assignment itself being challenging, we’re expected to do a whole bunch of things here that I’ve never done before just for the sake of doing them. Learning how to create a makefile, accept comand line parameters, and compile a single program from multiple files is practically an assignment in and of itself.
I have another week yet to get this done, but I can already tell it’s going to be tight. So if anyone would like to volunteer to kill me this evening and put me out of my misery, that would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe I just need a fancy helmet like this.
