Now Presidents Quiz is the last lab we have to do in this course and I think so far it was my favorite. It’s literally a short quiz with about 3 questions asking about which American President was in office during a certain situation in history. I personally love history and would love to learn more about it (assuming it doesn’t become mandatory and ridiculously hard) and creating a short and easy quiz is pretty cool.

here’s a screen of what the coding looks like

As you can see it’s a lot of coding. It was serious man.

and here’s somewhat what the test will look like

it even allows you to pick what answers you want. So this was a pretty cool project and glad I learned how.

Today we learned how to create a game using App Inventor. It’s sort of like Whack a mole but much more simpler. You basically try to tap the android sprite up to 5 times to win the game and allows you to play the game as many times as possible.

So here’s what the game looks like:

and here’s the Block windows used to make the game work.

It slightly amused me actually. I might do play it while I’m at home just for the hell of it.

In this lab we learned how to make another app called Paint Pot which allows us to mess around and paint on a background image of our choice. With a little help from the tutorial and a bit of logic we used blocks and buttons to set up this application to work, from changing the color of the buttons to having a canvas allowing users to draw lines on the image. It’s kinda like paint but with less features and you’re messing around on a image of whatever we posted.

anyways here’s the layout

and the blocks

Fun little project but I’m sure we’ll get a chance to mess around with something much cooler. Gotta start from the ground up.

Okay so this lab was a little easier to manage but it was still difficult to navigate at first. Sometimes the instructions aren’t specific enough and force you to trial and error to get it right. But whatever it’s done and finished. For this one we had to figure out the expenses to a family vacation.

So here’s the code

and the result!

Boom! Another lab down! Finishing these things feels good. Gawd.

Okay this was the most confusing and most difficult lab so far. The instructions and explanations didn’t really give me much to work with and had to do a serious amount of trial and error (and help from forums) to figure this one out. I usually finish my labs during class and just worry about the quizzes at home but this one I had to finish at a later date. But after a while and being utterly frustrated I finally got it done. As much of a headache this lab was, it was completed and I’m proud of myself once again.

anyways here’s the code

and the result

Hopefully the next lab won’t be as challenging as this one.

I’m back again for a new post! This time tackling date and time coding. This one took quite some time (literally the whole class period) to do. Had a little bit of trial and error but after a while I finally figured out how to do it. A little proud of myself getting through that challenge but it was a bit stressful. Either way, still got some progression out of it. Enough of this banter, here’s what the date and time code looks like:

and the result of this coding is:

Well. Another job well done.

this was a confusing lab and required a lot of research to figure out. But once you get it you get it. The coding was a little odd but after looking it up it started to make sense. Needed to make the arrow turn right, then go forward a set distance and back the same distance for 100 times. Using random we were able to format this weird looking graph and I mean weird looking. but it’s art using coding so I’m totally okay with it.

Here’s the coding

I set the arrow to Max to be a little different then the typical “alex” setting. Besides that here’s what it looks like.

Another Lab down!

Hey what’s going on guys. Just here to show you what I learned today in class. Ran the tutorial for Python and learn some cool stuff with it. Wasn’t really hard but a quite a fast learning process. I feel better and do better on practicals anyways.  It’s a small step but I’m beginning to get the hang of it. Give me another 3 months and we’ll see what I can really do with this program.

But first check out the progression

and the result

Productivity at it’s greatest and this is like the 3rd class day. Soon. Real soon.

Hey! Check this out
