Coding Journal

Entry #1 I finally completed my personal website. I put in the background images I wanted and set up the text the right way. I liked the way I was able to customize the website to be my own, but I was a bit frustrated at times because I could not figure out how to do what I wanted. I am ready to move on to a more complicated and creative project. Stay tuned for my next idea.

Entry #2 Today I completed my idea for the new design of room 1401. It was hard to set up the images with the links on them but once I figured it out, it was extremely easy to transfer with copy and paste. Overall this was a very fun project and I hope these ideas will be considered for this new and improved space.

Entry #3: I have started work on my major project and it is turning out really well so far. The dolphin is working perfectly but we cannot figure out how to score the game so far. Stay tuned!

Entry #4: Today we figured out how to score the game. We have added coins to each spot and when the dolphin touches the coins one point is added. The coins do not work at the moment but we are working on it.

Entry #5 We finally figured out the coins!! It took forever but we finally got it so that it adds one point and they disappear. I am so happy we finally completed this and it is a big step in the right direction.

Entry #6 Today I read an article called JavaScript for cats. It explained how to use JavaScript and explained how to use the inspect element in Chrome. It was very interesting and helped me understand Javascript better.

Entry #7 Today we are starting the swarming disappearing code sketch. I am planning on using footballs as my div. What I need to is make 1000 divs that move around randomly and when something is clicked they will disappear.

Entry #8 I finished my swarm today. It was hard to make all the divs and make them all move in random spots. I first made sure that I had 1000 seperate divs and then I got the movement down. Once all of the divs were moving I added in the background image for each div which is a football. The only thing I would change is that it does not need to be refreshed.
