Colours! Colours! Colours! What a wonderful song! (I was actually going to put these phrases in capital letters, but I realized that it was the incorrect way to emphasize. Time's top 100 most influential people: Mr. Arkin.)
Today in class we learned the pre-defined procedures: colour and colourback. The keyword "colour" changes the colour of the text. "Colourback" changes the background colour of the text. If we want to make the entire background a certain colour, then we will have to clear the screen (with "cls") and change the background colour using the keyword, "colourback".
After we learned about the pre-defined functions: "ord" and "chr". They are used for the same purpose as special character entities in HTML. I always find it interesting when I can relate material from Turing to what we learned in September and beginning of October about web design.
We received the rest of the period to work on our Input assignments. Unfortunately, we didn't have Studio 218, because no one brought in any music. I should really go out and get some legal music. Not solely for Studio 218, but because I don't have many decent, legal music tracks on my mp3. I was thinking of a Glee (fantastic television series) sound track. They have a variety of music in terms of genre and artists, and to be frank, they perform the songs better than the original artists!
Homework for today is simple: finish outstanding Input assignments and of course, the daily log.
