The first week of
Computers involved a run through of the semester and what we would be
doing for assignments and tests. We also received information on our
ISU(Independent study unit). Our ISU is a one person project about a
new piece of technology or something related to technology that would
be cool or unique to present. I have decided to do mine on Bit Coins
which is a form of currency.
We where told about
the programs and languages we would be learning and the first one was
Java script. The program we are learning Java on at this time is
Green Foot which is a simplified program that allows an easier access
and understanding of how java works. We where given a tutorial and a
copy of the program which we saved to our private drives on the
school system. We started using Green Foot by going through the set
tutorials that were given. The first one involved learning the
basics and a tour of the program that we use to code. The second
tutorial we learned was one that involved creating a game with a crab
and a lobster. The object of the tutorial was to make a user
interface for the crab, and create a sort of pac-man like game style.
The newest project
we have been given is homework that involves creating a hero versus
villain game similar to the crab game, but more complex coding lines
and problems that would need to be solved. We have been given
another day to try and complete the set homework.
