Unit 1 - Pair Programming 1

This was our very first project, we did it with the person sitting next to us. It was very easy, we just had to make the cat sprite move to a certain poin, then turn around, move back to the starting point, then say "That was easy!"

Simple Motion

This first project we had to make the sprite, in this case a banana, move around the screen. It was pretty simple to complete, being our first project ever in this class, it was supposed to be. The bananas glided fromthe bottom left corner, to the bottom right corner, then the top right corner, then the top left corner, and then back to the bottom left corner.

Hexagon

Creating a hexagon out of moving sprites was a bit more difficult than having a banana moving around the screen, but I managed to pull it off. This project included six bananas starting in the center of the screen, and then moving to their appropriare coordinates in order to create a hexagon.There was math involved so that also made it a bit difficult

Draw a shape

In this project I had bananas fly around the screen to draw various shapes. In this case, I had the banana draw a square, a hexagon, and a triangle. It was not difficult at all, in fact the easiest project out of this first lab.

Costume Change

This project was fun to do, I took a square and a circle and had them infinitely change there color. Using a forever loop was fun and it was the first time I had used one.

Set the stage

In this project I took a banana and had it move from the right side of the page to the left side of the page. Half way through this glide, I had the background change from a beach scene, to a soccer field scene.
