Apr 29

Learned the specifics about connecting all the rooms to one another. Still need to get the thing to print out the exact description of the item. But other than that I think I get all of this stuff. It makes sense, just pure logic.

Today we cleaned up the inv thing. I would like to work... In groups of 3 maybe working independently on our own games and conferring with one another if we have problems. Although if this happens i have a feeling the people in my group will ask me for help... a lot. So in that respect I want to have my own group... but... I would rather work by MYSELF than in a group with people who do nothing... And constantly slack off and ask for help when they didnt listen.

So my vote is that we are each completely independent!

Today I did the drop function in the game and edited the title screen. I also changed the things around like the title screen and what not.

Today I learned the basics for the text based game. Its kinda hard to explain, but i leanred about how to make rooms, although im not sure how to make room connections just yet. But i know how to put items in a room and take em out.

Today we played the game and it was fun! I cant wait to make my own game like this! I didnt learn anything except how to be very annoyed by endless passageways.

Today we mainly just worked on our class object things. We got the old maid to work and not much else, I didn't learn anything new. My apologies.

Today we worked on classes more and made an old maid game. Havent got it to run yet although I am fairly certain I have done all the things correctly.

Today we learned about decks. We used a shuffling program to shuffle the deck then resort it again. I learned a bunch of new functions, like randint , pop card and such. They are all the different things you can do with lists and strings and the like. I also debugged some of my frineds programs and that helped me look and correct errors, and was fun!

Apr 16

Ok I finally get all the str and init tings. We learned more about the class function and i think i finally get all the things that Im doing aside from copying blindly. The bell rang... and im late in posting soo....

Today we learned more about classes and what prototype functions are. They are what weve been doing making functions and correcting flaws as we find them. There are ways to convert time to seconds and convert to time as well. That was pretty easy. Made add time much easier.

Today we learned more about the class funcition. The self variable is what the thing that is being defined is. We also leanred about the __init__ and __str__ function things.

Apr 10

Learned never to assign anything the variable string as that will make things confusing once you go. Learned more about the things with string, like lower and how to change everything lower and test if its a lowercase letter. Going to do the project soon, excited about that!!

Learned about dictionaries today. I don't get it completely, but its very similar to a list or tuple, except its immutable. Also learned about long integers and they have their own type.

Apr 8

Today learned about tuples and recursive theory. We had already learned this kind of, but did it more in depth this time. Recursive formulas are not good as they take forever and are limited in how much they can do. Other ways are much more effective.

Apr 7

Today had a crash course in ch 10. Learned about modules and the many many many things you can do with things like string and to import different things. Meothods and attributes. My list you can change stuff about lists like append, or insert.

Worked on more of the same today. Excersises and add_row to matricies.

Apr 3

Today was more of the same exercises. I learned that doctests cannot be used if they are not found at the beginning of def or the whole document. That wasted about 10 minutes oftime that I couldve spent working...

Apr 2

I learned today that functions dont always have to follow doctests, that it can simply be a bunch of '=' things. Nothing new was taught today really as we just did excersises the whole day.

I got a tardy today.... Thats my second one this quarter and they were 45 minutes of each other, though the quarter started yesterday... Its very sad... Anyways I learned about pure functions and how they don't change the variable as that could get very confusing. Clarified with cloning and what aliasing means. Cloning is a copy, and aliasing is the same thing. non-pure functions have unwanted side-effects that are not good for buisness. Learned about the join split and lists are very similar to strings.
