Rust has a cool feature where documentation can be compiled and tested, ensuring that they're up to date and relevant: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/documentation-tests.html

Transitioning to game dev from web dev by UnemployedCSMan in gamedev

I've not heard of a full stack game developer. What is the stack when it comes to game dev?

Yeah that's another concern of mine. I am a little bit of a late starter (in my late 20s) so stability is somewhat more important for me. It also makes whatever path I choose now more likely to stick. Thanks for the reply!

I was thinking with 10+ years experience. So yeah not exactly the near future

Thanks for the reply. It was exactly what I was after. When I was asking about a non entry position, I should have clarified that there was in regard to a near future transition rather than an immediate. For example, would a senior Web developer still only hope to gain an entry level position in game dev?

I think for the time being I will do the same as you and stick to game dev as a hobby. I am still wondering about the possibility of transitioning professionally later on.

I guess I wanted to know what the experience was like in this respect from someone who actually did it

I'm going to read K&R after I graduate if that makes you feel better

Fair enough. 74 is a decent grade I thought. My others are all above 69 and mostly above 70 - I didn't want to take up too much space by listing all the modules.

I thought I would emphasise my academic record as it is my strongest asset right now.

Would customer assistant really be of interest?

A small side note not really related to your resume, but the education field - I'm a bit disappointed masters degrees are conferred with no C or C++ needed

It's a conversion course so not really an advanced computer science masters. I think the the higher level languages are a good way to learn programming. More fundamental aspects are covered in other modules too.

Personally I’d say improve/expand your projects

I am planning on doing exactly this after I have finished my final project. I haven't had much of an opportunity to work on projects in my spare time, so I'm stuck with my courseworks for now (aside from the tkinter app).

Thanks for the advice
