+2 -3 Redux

I can't believe it... it happened again! Redux. Once again... 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. :(

Step forward: EQAO - today's EQAO was surprisingly a lot easier than I expected! There was maybe one question that I got stuck a little on, but I managed to work it out in the end. I just hope my confidence pays off, and I actually do do well!

Step forward: Finished Culminating Part 2 - today I managed to finish programming part 2 of our program! That means we are actually ahead of schedule by a day. Plus, Grace finished programming a splash screen for our app - it looks awesome! And, Randi has already started on programming part 3 of the program. Go us!

Step forward: Wrist Getting Better - self-explanatory, I guess? My wrist is already feeling a lot better. I even managed to play Handball in gym class today without it hurting too much! Hopefully it will heal entirely before it's my group's turn to do the culminating.

Whoops, looks like I miscounted; that makes 3 steps forward. But now for the bad news...

Step(s) back: Linking Problems - I assure you, this should count for 5 steps back. Like I said in the previous post, originally we'd planned on using include to link separate program files together. In the end, the files were supposed to create a gigantic loop. Unfortunately though, it seems that it will be impossible. The loop actually becomes a paradox in the end, making it impossible to program.

So now what do we do, you ask? Truth is, we don't know yet. But we did find out another procedure in Turing: forward procedure and body procedure. Grace tested it out, and it worked on a separate example! We are still optimistic that it will work in our case as well. We will begin to test the two tomorrow, starting in class.

Again - I seem to say this so much nowadays - wish us luck! :/
