I feel my best when I play soccer because it makes me feel happy.
I want to improve on my attitude and plan to do so by trying to not talk with respect and kindness to people.
A dream I have for the future is becoming a mechanical engineer so that I can build and test different mechanical devices and sensors.
This process of creating a game made us feel like never before. We say this because it was fun and at the same time stressing. I never knew you needed so much code to make such simple game. Honestly the hardest part was when we had to code the ball. I mean the ball just would do what we code. We put “when the green flag is clicked”, start at” a certain position but it just wouldn’t budge. The scrolling background was the one that had us all confused. It would scroll but then it would make a gap which didn’t look to pleasing . In the end we figured out what we had to do for the scrolling background and we fixed it. We know our game isn’t the best but in the process me and my teammate had a lot of fun making it.
I felt pretty good about the progression of my coding abilities. An example of a simple task was cave surfing game. Cave surfing game was the most simplest task for me because the code wasn’t really that long and it didn’t have many wait until codes. A really complex task for me was the quest game. It was the most complex because it had a lot of code and I would get confused on where to put certain blocks. For example, I would forget where to put wait 2 secs blocks. It was also more complex because it had many different backgrounds and when the backgrounds would switch, you would have to put different code in each background. For me, the game that was most rewarding was the platform game. It was most rewarding because I really liked how it turned out and just the game in general was really fun to play and code. I’m most proud of my coding abilities. I’m most proud of my new coding abilities because a couple months ago, I didn’t really know how to code like I do now and I know how to code many different games. I’m also most proud of my playing abilities because sometimes it would be really hard to win a game.
Our final design was a success but it didn't make the actual egg drop. Our design was a success because it was able to hold the egg and keep it somewhat protected. In the egg drop, our design was a fail because when it dropped, it dropped super hard and the egg cracked inside our prototype. One challenge we had to overcome was trying to get our design to the perfect size so it would fit perfectly when it was too big.
