En estas vacaciones de invierno que pasaron pude hacer varias cosas, desde cosas Web en Ruby on Rails y Javascript hasta empezar con C++. Esta vez les traigo un poco de los avances que pude hacer en general. Algunas de las cosas que hice son públicas así que pueden ver el código y hasta corregir/criticar si encuentran algún error.
Aplicaciones Web
Decidí aprender Ruby on Rails ya que estaba por participar de una Hackathon (Hackathon Unearthed 2017) y con mi grupo queríamos una plataforma fácil para realizar aplicaciones webs. Si bien no fue lo que terminamos haciendo en el evento, aprendí bastante.
Mi principal objetivo era saber hacer una aplicación básica y poder también complementarla con gráficos utilizando Chart.js, una librería Open Source que se maneja con JavaScript. Sobre Chart.js, pueden ver como fui creando gráficos simples y viendo como modificar la información de estos: https://jsfiddle.net/lpinilla/n2hj9nbn/
C++
Comencé también a aprender C++ por mi cuenta. Primero viendo tutoriales de como crear un Snake aunque lo abandoné porque no sentía que estaba aprendiendo. Así que decidí hacer un Snake de cero luchando con C++. Por ahora estoy trabajando en el Backend y todavía no tengo algo funcional y tampoco se si lo que estoy haciendo es correcto, para resolver esto voy a utilizar Tests Unitarios.

Como pueden ver, terminé de re-hacer las mecánicas del jugador. Falta ver si le agrego un gancho o no pero prefiero continuar con lo demás. Por ahora esta va a ser la mecánica base, todavía queda por ver si la cámara va a seguir al jugador o va a ser fija y va subiendo con él.
Es todo por ahora, voy a ir avanzando de a poco tanto en Rock Climber como en el Snake y como dije arriba, si ven algún error o optimización que se pueda hacer al código, pueden avisar tranquilamente y lo voy a tener en cuenta.
Saludos.

In this winter holidays that went by I could do several things, from web Stuff in Ruby on Rails and Javascript to start with C++. This time I bring some of the progress I could make in general. Some of the things I've done are public so you can see the code and even correct/criticize if you find any errors.
I decided to learn to use Ruby on Rails as I was goint to participate in a Hackathon (Hackathon Unearthed 2017) and with my group we wanted a platform that was easy to use to create WebApps. Although it was not what we ended up doing at the event, I learned a lot.
My main goal was to know how to make a basic WebApp and to be able to put some charts in it using Chart.js, which is an Open Source library that is handled with Javascript. About Chart.js, you can see how I was creating simple charts and seeing how to modify their information: https://jsfiddle.net/lpinilla/n2hj9nbn/
I also started learning C++ on my own. First watching tutorials on how to create a Snake although I abandoned it because I felt I wasn't learning. So I decided to make a Snake from scratch fighting with C++. For now I'm working on the Backend and I still don't have something functional and I also don't know if I'm doing things right, to solve this I'll use Unit Testing.

As you can see, I've re-done the player mechanics. I still have to see if I'll add a hook or not but I rather continue on everything else. For now this will be the base mechanic, I still have to see if the camera will follow the player or it will be fixed and go up with the player.
That's all for now, I'll continue working both Rock Climber as the Snake and as I said above, if you can spot any error in the code or find a way to optimize things, don't be shy to let me know and I'll definitely take it into account.
Cheers.
