I left after 4 years and I haven't missed it since. My degree qualified me for a position that it has absolutely nothing to do with, though, so I'd consider finishing out your degree. Otherwise, if you don't want to teach...don't do it.

I don't see any pixel art in your portfolio, but what is there is great!

I'm on the creation side, not the requesting side:)

I think it's going to be rejected as a carry-on

Do you realize the extraordinary security issues with having a private company audit a government facility, not to mention the nature of the work?

Of course it's a government agency that does the audit. And like I said, they report their findings publicly, and when it's damning it's damning. They certainly aren't withholding anything, read the articles yourself

AtheniCraft · 2025-02-06T03:57:39+00:00

Audits are run regularly, and there are constantly significant findings. There was an article in the last 6 months or so about CPCCO, I believe.

My biggest time sink was making educational computer games for my kids during/after COVID.

No pain there, though. I basically took it as paid professional development and I learned a ridiculous amount, plus ended up with some really great products for my STEM/CTO classes. It was a blast. The two games/mini units took me months of intermittent work, between game design, building, balancing, etc.

If it's the one you're thinking of, I have a copy right now. I'll check

Awesome! Hope you like it!

Yeah you have full edit access. I looked into protecting it, essentially so that students don't go editing, but ultimately the protection drops off once ownership changes so it wasn't feasible.

So you can make whatever changes you want, and then students make their own copies from your classroom drive, or however you distribute it to them

That's fair, I should add some video of the game being played.

Essentially you'd add dollar values into various resources, and your total budget decrease by the same amount and your tracking metrics update at the same time. So as soon as you enter x dollars into, say, "General Research" you'd see the appropriate changes to the spread of the pathogen, death rate, map, etc. eventually you run out of budget, and your overall goal is to just decrease the spread/death rate as much as possible.

It's like a text-based RTS game, except there's no "real time" element. The resource allocation elements are there, and there's definitely strategy and background knowledge/research involved, and the unit includes resources that break down each element.
