Lunden Mims - Android Apps

Hello and welcome to Android Apps, where we create apps! This is my master app, which is one big app with several smaller apps. As you can see, I have six apps as of right now which all serve a different function. From talking to digital A.I to even painting on your own canvas, this app might just have everything you need.

This is my cyber city icon from Blender, but now I have made it smaller in order to turn it into a cool app icon.

This app is called PaintPot, and it is the app I worked the hardest on for the longest time. It may seem a bit simple, but it has complicated block code that would take a beginner a long time to master. There are not only 4 colors, as on the app you can scroll through the different colors. If you click on the options button, more options will pop up, like to wipe the canvas or to return to the menu. There is also a magic feature which changes the color everytime you click or every second that you drag it.

This advanced code is what you would have to do to make an advanced PaintPot, like mine. This is a ton of code including variables, lists, and a bunch of other buttons that make my PaintPot, well, PaintPot.

This interface may seem complicated, and it might be for beginners, but once you start to get the hang of all of the tools and know what they do, you will get it soon enough. I suggest you try MIT for yourself and make a great app!

Biggest Challenge

A constant problem making my app was doing the code because there is so many things you could get wrong that could malfunction your app. Also, it's easy to find what you want to accomplish or update or fix, but hard to actually do it. For example, there's a way you can make your magic feature change sizes too, but it was pretty hard for me to figure out at first. Turns out, it was easy, but it won't always be easy. Sometimes I had duplicate code in my app and didn't find it until i stumbled on the code while checking all of my apps. Coding is really hard sometimes and can give you many errors and failures that can cause you to give up, and that's the real challenge.

Dream App

The app that I'm the most DETERMINED to make is a tower defense game. Now how would I make this "tower defense" game? Well, I made a space-invader like game with my own sprites and movement of the character. This is actually the first step to where I want to be. Think about it, sprites move in a tower defense game, so to make them move, you need to know the code to move them. So knowing how to move sprites and objects is the first step to my tower defense game. It might take a while, so wish me good luck!
