Green foot during spring break

I am continuing chapter 4. 


Exercise 4.1
Adding a crab automatically
Exercise 4.2
add a code for three lobsters automatically
and it turns out that you can't put negative numbers :( 
Exercise 4.3
add 10 worms 
I learned that the number 1000 works. 
it's funny how I wrote three worms on the edit thing but on the world, only two appears. so... I lost a worm in my world somewhere...lol
and number 09 doesn't work. So Java doesn't understand numbers that have zero in front of it. ;P
jeez... the worms are in randomest places! lol
Exercise 4.4
So the next exercise is basically  making a separate mathod called populate world in the crabworld class. 
and I have simply no idea what that means. 
That is why I am going to Dr. Google's blog to learn... brb
um...
I just went there. but I am quit confused. he has too much words...but the main problem is that I am working on chapter four when he is working on chapter six or seven. Jezz.. I feel bad and left out that I am slow. I must some how over lap him! 
so back to my method thing. How do you make a method called a populate world? in the crabworld class? I am stuckkk :( I don't get it. 


and that's why there is this thing called "Google!"

Entry 26

I continued Green foot.

I don't have much to say because I am stuck on this exercise...

but um this post will be about my future in this subject..

So from what Anna told me, I feel like she prefers video production than green foot and codes...
So I am 80% sure that she isn't going to do AP class next year :/

Now me.

HMMMM
I think I will go to the class.

Although I am not having 'fun' doing green foot Right now, I trust that when I do chapter 5 or 6, it would be fun... (From what Goo boy told me)

I also want to do this course next year because I think this computer skills and codes would be very important in Korea when I go like in two years...

So yeah.
it looks like I am gong to do the course next year.

:D

good thing. right?

andddd
it'g gonna be awkward if I am the only girl.
bhabhahahahah

Entry 25

I continued with my green foot Chapter three. And talked about the film festival the inspired club is going to host. 


Since it was the last block of Friday, my brain just left me.
But I still managed to do some work. 


Today, I learned about creating new methods
I realized that you put 
/** sign for new methods and is called a comment


Exercise 3.8
Create another new-method named randomTurn


Well, I am not so sure about it right now, so I shall think about it during my weekend. 


So about Green Foot, I am not very sure... 
I like it.But like I like it much as I like fat cake. 
So this means that I don't know for sure, but I think I will like Greenfoot. 
Although I have like eight more classes until I become a10th grader, I still am not so sure... 
ugh D: 


but I am 90% sure that I will be in the computer science class next year.

Entry 24

Today, I started Chapter three (3)
http://sillykidsquotes.com/pages/admin/welcome-sillykidsquotescom

The new thing about chapter three are the...  


"Greenfoot.getRandomNumber method" and the "less-than operator" method.


the less-than operator compares two numbers and returns true if the first is less than the second.
"Less than" is written using the symbol "<"


Exercise: 3.1 
Write an expression using the getRandomNumber method and the less-than operator that, when executed, is true exactly 10 percent of the time.
From Dr. M. Google, who helped me very much, told me that the 10 percent means that only numbers that are less than10 is 10 percent. So if you want 7 percent, you will have to input numbers that are less than 7(including 7) 
So to get 10 percent of the time, you just need to type like this. 




































 (don't matter the deathly yellow highlighter because we will go there later)
but as you can see from the picture, I have two getRandomNumber method because the first one is a order and the second is another order to tell what to do after the computer has chosen the random number. So I wrote turn; meaning that it would turn after it chooses a random number. 


Exercise 3.2
Write down another expression that is true 7 percent of the time
so to do this, as I explained earlier, write 7 instead of 10 like this


































Exercise 3.3
Try out the random course change s shown above in your own version. Experiment with different probabilities for turning. 


The screen should look somewhat like this. 




































Exercise 3.4 
Try out the code shown above. What do you observe? Does the crab turn different amounts when it turns?




































This is a short video to see the difference between the two code. 
As you can see, in the second code, the crab moves more randomly 


I OFFICIALLY HATE MICROSOFT NOW
I NEED TO DOWNLOAD WINDOW MOVIE MAKER 2.1 
AND THEY GIVE ME THIS PAGE

Entry 23

lalalallala I had fun and I wish to enjoy green foot more YAY! omg this is so fun 
_________________now serious mode _________________
Every time I finish a chapter, I do a chapter exercise. A chapter exercise is a exercise that requires the skills that you used in chapter you did. 
In chapter two I learned how to turn around at the world edge and on.  


Chapter Exercise: Try to create an edge-hugging crab
 

The crab moves to the edge of the world, then continues to follow the edge turning at the corners.


To do this, I knew the if-statement would play an important role. So I started to move the if-statement around the code and place them into random  brackets and all. 


This is a short video I made 
YAY! 


I have nothing to explain because I made a video. 
But I will tell you that changed the code multiple multiple times!
