We approach the last moments of the last semester of my last year in college. I feel awkward, I have been in the educational structure my whole life. It will feel incredibly strange to not be doing that. Of course this assumes that I won’t eventually go to grad school, which I assume I won’t. I have looking into working at Belmark, everybody that I have talked to says nothing but good things about them, even though their Indeed profile has a lower rating than U.S Customs and Border Protection.

This semester felt weird, I basically only had long projects, one of which will be presented on May 1st. I hate semester long projects, man. It always feels like a storm following you around but not quite raining on you. I do have ways to stay working, that looming pressure that I make myself feel is one of them, but also just working a little bit at least every day helps you not stay behind. I am essentially done with my project, I just need to prepare to talk about it and demo it, and then polish it. Exciting, and also not exciting because it is scary.

My project is Eye-Spy, a hidden object game that you play with your eyes using an eye tracker. I have added functionality to add your own pages with an admin application. When you look at an object for long enough, there is some visual feedback, which depends on if the image is black and white or in color. Once you have found every image, your time is displayed, as well as the top 10 scores. The most interesting part of the high score page is the replay. While you play the game, the coordinates where you looked are stored in a list, which is then replayed in real time right next to the scores. When you click on a score, their data is replayed. This has turned out quite nice in my opinion, and I just hope it doesn’t break when everybody is looking at it. This tends to happen, not just to me but to everybody in recorded human history.

Wish me luck.
