Today we got more time to work on our bouncing-ball program. I found out that although my program works, there are still some small glitches that I had to fix. I also helped some of my classmates with their programs. Cindy and I sought to fix the illogical aspects of my program.
I also had the chance to "embellish" the program a bit more. The program now allows the user to specify the speed in which the character "moved" and whether or not the user would like the program to stop and restart when the screen is filled with characters.
At the end of class, it was concluded that "animation" is truly just the output of something, clear screen (cls), and output of something else at a high speed. It is the same base concept with film making. After all, that is why they call it "motion pictures". Programming is truly a remarkable however tedious and difficult skill.
The Winter Break is near! I am so excited! I finally get to sleep in and catch up on some reading and extracurriculars! I hope to finish reading The Blue Fairies Book, get at least 10 hours of sleep every night, and catch up on my DECA (business competition) studying.
Today was the last full day of school. The stress is starting to disappear. I started watching The Big Bang Theory even though the show is already on its third season. There is a quote from one of the episodes:
"Raj: I don't like bugs, okay? They freak me out.
Sheldon: Interesting. You're afraid of insects and women. Ladybugs must render you catatonic."
They truly bring a new perspective to sitcom humor.
