TenThingsILearned
1.) Kernal is the most important part of an operating system.
2.) the Kernal is in between the assembler and the Operating system.
3.) The Kernal manages the CPU.
4.) The Kernal manages the memory.
5.) the Kernal manages the I/O.
6.) Linux is a free os.
7.) operating system is abreviated as OS or O/S.
8.) The OS manages the resources.
9.) linux was published under general public access.
10.) The scource code for linux is accessable to everyone.



My Journal
Today in klass we learned about the kernal and linux.  We also learned eachothers names. I have already forgotten almost everyones names. We made a Kuhl game. We did the hello world thing. We learned how to do some programing and made this web page.

order of steps I would do:
1) make the curser dot
2) make a location randomizer thingy
3) make the color thingy
4) make the other dots
5) make the right or wrong thing +score


there were differences in the order of steps mainly because I did Not think of the display, making awhole thing for the dots. also i had thought to do the colors with the randomizer.

step 1:
this step makes a black screen, thing to quit, and a random  number generator.

step 2:
generates red dots.

step 3:
make the dot follow the cursor

3.1:
before
I think that the code would be:
def curserdisapere (pygame.mouse,color)
    pygame.mouse.color = pColor
after
pygame.mouse.set_visible(1==0)

step 4
makes a red and blue dot

step 5:
obtains new position to handel colisions (of points).

step 6:
changes the position and the color of the dots

step 7:
keeps score


q2
the reason that some steps are done more than once in the loop.
q3
I did not under stand sprite. I think that the dots specify things (sort of like a slash). One group is is for the circles; theother is for the rectangles.

    Today I learned: software kontrols hardware; leap years okkur on years divisible by 4, but on years that are divisble by 100 but not 400 , leap years do not okkur; how to make a program that calculates the price of pizza per square inch; cumputers are stupid; I have to tell a computer explicitvely what to do; how to swap variables; how to assign multiple variables at once; how to do inputs; how to do math; how to be kuhl; it requires a 3rd level  derivative for a pokedog to catch a frisbey; how to do definnite for loops; how to get a square root; we learned about intergers, long, and floating digits. We created several programs the most  challenging was the date problem.

Wednesday 17 June 2009
we learned about  strings and list today. we also learned about other stuff.
Thursday 18 June 2009
   In my opinion the most important parts of a game are no movies, challenging, grafics, audio, ballence, content, and pacing.

The website was informative. It was fun. i learned that there has to be a goal.


We learned about defining functions. it is not neccessarilly about code length.

Friday 19 June 2009

not, then and,Monday 22 June 2009 then, or.

today we learned the things. we learned to be specific about stuff. we learned about life.

Tuesday 23 June 2009
We learned NOTHING!!!! We PROGRAMED!!!!!

Wednesday
we learned about vectors. we programed.

Thursday

Today we learned about AI. AI is never really done. There is the searching method of  AI. AI used to be mainly math logic. It then bekame biology. they made the sensors that were like nuerons. originally , they only used one that was able to solve only linear problems. they then did the genetic algorithem. Then they made these system of nuerons that kould do most things after being trained. The mathmaticians kame bakk to say that they kould do the same stuff with math but they instead aktually knew what was happening. so then the knew thing was statistiks. they were able to make robots that kould do many things with statistiks (such as locating itself). The problem is when are they done. Also, how do they make robot of human-like intellegence.

Friday

Today we learned about cyber monkeys. there are brain machine interfaces. they will one day be used for pristetics. this will go on and on. this resaerch is funded by the military. the brain controls things with its mind. the devices can either be implanted or they can be done on your head. the video game controlers that do this dont work very well. There are two types of interfaces that go one the head, EEG and ECoG. they did not look good. they had spike to begin with but they then became more esthetic. the brain thing detekt spikes in the brain. the equation for movement were :

x = a1 * n1 + a2 * n2 + a3 * n3 + ...

y = b1 * n1 + b2 * n2 + b3 * n3 + ...
where n=firing rate. I kould use this in a program to simulate some sort of ai thing.


Saturday
    There was this man how made a game in one week. He learned a lot. His game was called Hackenslash. It was a RPG. He did a lot in his last bit of time. Specifikly, he did the most during the last fifteen hours. He gave himself forty hours because that is the standard work week. The reason for all of this is because he figured that it would not be so hard to program a game is one week.

    At first he thought that he would not have the time to take off forty hours. Eventually he decided to go through with he challenge. he broke his time up into incament of ten hours in his planing. The first ten hours were to be used for engine set up. The second ten hours were to be used for making the character work. The third ten hours were to be used for creating the maps, the AI, and et cetera.  The forth ten hours were to be used for adding features. The post production time was to be used for debugging.

    I also made a game in a group of four. It was a  space shooter. We did the levels and enemy and charcter and power ups and lasers and tmplate seperatly. We failed. It did not even work. The compiling did not work. some of the code was retarded. The debuging was impossible. We worked a lot harder in our last thirty minutes then in the reat of the time. We did our plot in the last ten minutes.

    The guy who programed a game in a week also failed, but not as fully as we did. He learned that it is best to get the important stuff first. He also learned that it is important to always be in crisis mode. He learned that he should have had someone else do the art. He also learned that it is often better just to start over with code. He learned that scope should not exceed budget. We learned very similer things.


Monday


Today we started our final projekts. I am doing an RPG. I am using everything I learned.



Tuesday

Today, I did the graphics and side bar.


Wednesday

Today, I sprited skeletons. We  made enemies. I made a maze with an invisible wall. It says, "BWAHAHAHA!!!" when the player steps next to it. I made chests open. Gotta' catch 'em all!



Thursday

I learned much in this class. It was Fun. I started this class as a novince programer but I am much better now.



Last Day: Friday 4 July 2009

I think we did well on our final project. the only thing I regret is that it was not fully debugged. I like the class and the language. I thought that the projects were fun. i did not ever get to play my project. I hope to continue work on it when I get home.
We should have spent more time integrating the file and actually playing the
