Ludology, Ph.D. Adventures!

Guess Who’s in the Big Leagues Now? (Ph.D. Year 2, Spring Update 10)

TL; DR

Started a code structure plan for the simulation of Project CODE Switch with Dr. Cardona-Rivera (featured image). I got offered a position to teach again this fall! I will be teaching the second-year master’s students EAE 6330: Game Engineering III! 🥰 Wrote a syllabus draft for the course. Kept picking away at my SGD theory paper. Just two classes left until the end of the semester. I’m super excited about summer!
