Hello, You can call me Jade! I'm a programmer/game developer and I primarily work in the Unity game engine. I love state machines and I've made more than my fair share of them. In fact I'm relatively well known at this point for turning just about everything into a state machine!

In this guide I'm going to be teaching you about the basics of State Machines and how to get started with them!

Welcome to a madman's guide on the basics of State Machines.

Dear friend

Time marches so unrelentingly onwards, it's often far too easy to blink and have the past vanish before you. In what feels like a fraction of a second, moments once cherished and held closely become but memories; destined to fade as time takes a tight grip and unforgivingly pulls us forward.

If you've ever heard me talk about programming in any regard, you'll likely be aware that I simp for C#. I have never met any other language that lets me develop at the speed I'm able to. It is hands down my favourite language and I will challenge anyone who tries to change my mind.

But that doesn't mean it's perfect. C#, much like every other language, has its drawbacks. I'm going to talk about some of the features that I've stumbled across in other languages that accomplish some goal better than C#.

Recently I've been thinking about how all the behaviour we exhibit towards others is driven by an insatiable need to preserve oneself. This, in a word, is known as “selfishness.”

Dear friend

I made a promise to myself that this year was the year I would get my shit together in all areas of my life. I don't make new years resolutions, but this one was important for me to do. I'd like to share something that I've been in the process of accomplishing which aligns with that goal. It's something that, at first glance, seems comparatively small. But it's something that is meaningful to me and has actually helped to serve as an effective self-soothing technique.
