As predicted, Mr. Arkin handed back our tests today, reviewing the answers along the way. I was very relieved. Now you can go guess my mark - it wasn't perfect by the way. Congrats to Randi and Felix though, who did get perfect! And who are probably not gonna read this. But ah well.
Other than reviewing our tests, we also went over some other concepts, like how to generate executables. Executables are basically just the run window - the user doesn't see the code behind the program. Generating an executable of a program involves this uber-epic-really-long-and-hard-mind-boggling-brain-wasting procedure...
1. Go to the "Run" menu in Turing
2. Click "Generate stand-alone program
Wasn't that like, the toughest thing in the world? I hope you can tell my sarcasm. Why do I keep using very small text?
After learning those two steps, Mr. Arkin also showed us a few programs that involved animation. Do you know those DVD screensavers, where an image bounces off the walls of the TV screen? Well, he created a program like that, except the path of the character is shown. Then he asked us to create the same program! Argh, still haven't figured that one out yet.
On another note, Winter Break's only 3 days away! I am very excited. But meanwhile I still have work to do. I think now'd be a good time to go and work on the program mentioned above. Wish me luck!
Now if you're bothering to pay attention to this... I got 23.5 on my test. Awesome, eh? So Canadian, eh?
LOOOOOL. I actually had to enlarge my screen to the nth percent to read that small text at the end...thanks for killing my eyes, Hannah. -.-"
