Great session with Joel reviewing progress on my project and providing very useful suggestions and insights. We had interesting discussions about implementation approaches that will be really helpful when I interview for game dev roles. He also suggested some optimisation techniques that will help me with this and other projects going forward.

Great session with Joel getting guidance on collision detection and feedback on my game so far. He'd kindly taken the time to refresh some knowledge on topics I needed help with and shared useful resources that I will be able to use while implementing new mechanics. Don't hesitate to reach out to Joel for all kinds of guidance with game dev!

More 3D math fun. Joel is a knowledgeable and very patient teacher of math who shows a range of ways of solving a problem so you really can start to build an intuition for what's happening. He keeps you thinking and doesn't spoon feed you but is very understanding since its been a long time since I've covered 3D math. As usual, I'd highly recommend Joel for all your game dev and math tutoring!
