Good afternoon, my esteemed OSU associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope that the Oregon weather has been kind to you all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the seasons changing, I’ve had some time to progress on the challenges presented to me and work through building a full-scale application from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this progress come the trials and tribulations of working as a team on a complicated full-scale application that emulates a small operating system made in the 1980’s and altered to run a video game system. I am speaking of the NES Nintendo Entertainment System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My main problems have been with the environment surrounding the system more than the project itself. I had issues with the linter, with docker, with the clang compiler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was working on an Intel x86 Mac and the other members of my team were working on either Windows x86\/ARM with or without using CLion or in Linux. Cooper and Gevko had to setup environments so that we could all participate. I had to spend many late nights with both of them trying to figure out the environment and get it to lint and compile. I eventually had to manually install the latest version of clang in order to have it work and had to manually accept everything through security on my Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have learned a lot about packaging tools, relevant paths, setting up environments, trouble shooting, and much more. I feel like I’ve learned much more than 5 things which include a bunch of troubleshooting skills. I’m thankful to my team for being so patient with me and helping me every step of the way. They are all fantastic and deserve praise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting stuck was always a slow process moving forward but I’ve learn to approach it methodically and find various methods of achieving the same goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
