The three prototypes I talked about before are ready. In case you missed my previous posts on the subject, I’ll briefly explain. My goal was to develop three prototypes of games that I think would work well on game portals. I’ll choose one of these prototypes to develop into a full game in the coming few months.

My first day of teaching - since 2003, that is - went along very smoothly. The students were remarkably calm and they seemed pleased with the way I teach. As a bonus, I earn a slightly more than I expected when I accepted this job. About half of it probably goes to taxes, but what’s left will still help me to feed myself. And I like food, so that’s good.

Starting next Thursday, I’ll be a teacher again. I was asked to replace a teacher who has fallen ill. I’ll be teaching programming in Java to sixteen year old boys once a week. I’m kind of looking forward to it. Teaching one day in the week is enough to experience the joys of teaching and too little to experience the annoyances of educational organizations.

Since yesterday, I’ve been working on a new prototype. Over the last two months, I’ve created a couple of other prototypes, but none of them worked out. I’m confident this one will, though. That means that this will be my second prototype. As you might remember from earlier posts, my aim is to have three prototypes at the end of March. I’ll choose one of them and develop that one into a full game.
