Week 5-11

Activities (What?) bullet point what I did)

Week 7

Thanks to Karl, the lecturer who filled in for Pete this week (again), we began another mini-project similar to the Pong game we started on last week, this time with Snake. We're doing this project for pretty much the same reason as the Pong game, in that we're learning some of the fundamentals of how a game works; there is one twist however, which is we won't be coding with training wheels this time. Instead of having the lecturer go through each step of the code, like in the Pong game, we have to figure this one out for ourselves. While this does seem a bit daunting, it's just lucky that it's Snake, which is a pretty simple game with only a few mechanics.
