Writing what you Learn in Medium consists of two steps…

1 Objective: What is the purpose of what you have learned?

2 Implementation: How is the objective implemented to achieve the desired results.

Writing for Medium is simply showing the path you take to complete your objective, demonstrating a working knowledge through implementation.

Utilize images, graphics and animated .gif files in your articles to take your writing to another level.

Face it, no body wants to look at articles of just text. To breathe life into your writings, try incorporating images, bits of code showing how you wrote it. Examples of how the code behaves when entered. Showing how you solved a problem that arises, showing how you fixed it. By adding these things, your reader will have a much easier time understanding the objective you are trying to get across.

The question now is, where do I get graphics and how do I add them to my article? Well here is the solution I have to offer. For windows there is an app called ShareX it is an animated .gif creator and video format converter and such. Download this app, it will allow you to record portions of your screen to capture animated files and other images for your article. There is also an app called Carbon for creating beautiful images of your source code.

Showing that you can write code, document processes and you are actively learning. You are showing that you are passionate about game development and serious about learning the proper way to write and implement your code.
