As I mentioned very hastily at the end of my "Hello World" post I have a YouTube channel where I provide tutorials. The problem is I don't actually have any concrete content to back up that statement. I started a Sudoku series roughly 10 months ago and stopped working on it because my Architecture of Real-Time Systems class was taking every second of time I had at the time. That class ended up changing my perspective on building games for the better (as every single class I've taken has *eyes emoji*) because, I immediately wanted to start the series over and do it proper instead of on the fly and improvised.
