after a grueling 4 years of school and a bit of time at a fintech company ive lost almost all the enjoyment i once had for computers in high school. what kind of projects or whatever can i do to have fun again without feeling stressed.
edit: thanks everyone for such creative suggestions!! anything else on the internets just like build a trivia game teehee but yall put real thought into this shit, thank you!!
If you want to have some fun again, maybe program a little with artsy-fartsy shaders.
Make a little blog that showcases them and write a little animation everyday - or twice a week.
I've seen also "shadplay" which lets you easily write and run shaders using rust. There was also this other tool where people could live-code shaders, but I forgot the name
Programmers discover shaders and shout "this is how computers should've been the whole time!" Then we spend twelve hours trying to turn a circle right-side-up.
Artists discover shaders and cry. Then they whip out some gorgeous speckled surface with fractal detail and we go "How the fuck?" and they say "I don't know."
I used to do a ton with Processing and P5. This guy https://www.youtube.com/@TheCodingTrain did wonders for my skill and enjoyment a few years ago. I owe him a lot
