The New Series

My new plan will to be to finish all of the next gen assignments to help practice my python before I get into the harder stuff with it again. Today I worked on the "Rock, paper, Scissors" assignment and I'm almost finished with it, all I have to do now for it is to compare the two computer choices and decide a winner from the results.

The Reboot Trilogy

Today I did a lot more codeacademy than I've been doing over the past few days. Rightnow is more of a review section and where I'm combining what I've been learning over the past few chapters and applying them. Right now I'm having an issue with lists and loops. I don't really know what codeacademy is asking me to do and a lot of the time when I get an error it's just something small. I'm 52% done the course now and it's getting a lot harder

The Day Reboot Part Two

Today I did a lot of codeacademy for python. The lessons have gotten a little harder than yesterday but I'm still breezing right through it. I hope to finish the entire course by early next week; I'm doing the whole course with even the parts that I already know because it'll improve my understanding of all of it and help me learn how to apply it better. Today for the most part I've been learning about lists and dictionaries and all of their associated functions and methods that they have. I'm now done about 38% of the python course.

The Day Reboot

Today I started out with trying to finish Mr. Wongs new returners assignment, but then I realized that I forgot how to do python from the month or so that I was learning about and doing Java instead. So I went on codeacademy on the python section from the start and I finished 25% of that course. It's been a long time since I've worked that hard in class and I'm proud of what I accomplished today.

The Day The Quadogy

Today I started working on my strategy game. It took me a little bit to get started with the title menu because I haven't coded for a little bit in Java. I keep on getting an error for a scanner function which is a variable that takes user input and I';m not really sure why that's happening because the online java console tha I'm using doesn't really give me an idea of why specifically it isn't working.

The Day The Quadogy

Today I watched a video tutorial on linked lists for java. They seem kind of useless and I'm not really sure what their purpose is and how they're different from arrays or arraylists. They seem a little bit specific and I don't think I'll need to use them in my strategy game. About that strategy game that I wanted to create , I googled some examples of java text-based strategy games that I could base my code on. I watched a guys youtube video on him making one of those. I'm about halfway through the video and now I have a better idea of how to start off making my game.

The Day The Trilogy

Today instead of learning about arrays and multi-dimensional arrays, I learned about arraylists. I don't know the whole reason on why these are two separate things, but I know now that these have a lot of built in functions in them that would be useful to implement in the strategy game that I'm going to make soon. They seem very useful with creating a character name and manipulating stats. I'm definetley going to be using array lists in my strategy game.
