May 23rd - Genius Hour Blog #9

No control over this
 The past week was one that was really not that productive for my project. I've hit one of those roadblocks that took me all class to overcome. The issue at hand today was not being able to put the answer to the equation into a string while looping it. Also strings were a bit of an issue, probably because I don't have a proper compiler with all the updated files but you do have to use what you have I guess. This was really frustrating because I tried six different solutions, none of which worked. The seventh one did work, which was a huge relief. However, the compiler is still being an issue so I might just have to leave the string backwards. At the very least I learned about read only memory slots. Hopefully next week I will be able to finish the project by using user input and getting strings to work so I can reverse the order of the string so the encoder doesn't provide messed up strings. 

Most of my projects are actually done, I just need to do some comments to explain what the code does so people who look at it understand and hopefully appreciate the work. When I present, I want to just sit at a computer and let people try out the program, and if there are issues then I will just fix them as we go along. There probably won't be a prezi or anything because the projects require user interaction, and slideshows are about as far you can get away from interacting with your audience.

April 4th - Genius Hour Blog #1

One of the websites I hope to learn from.          Over the last few weeks, we have been preparing our Genius Hour projects, where we will be using Mondays to learn something we want to do and present the project near the end of the semester at the "Celebration of Learning". I did an Inspiration chart which showed what I want to learn, how I would learn it, and how I would present it at the Celebration of Learning. At the end, I decided I wanted to learn C++ , and learn it through the internet (with websites like https://www.cprogramming.com) and some friends while presenting 4 practical projects at the Celebration of Learning. The whole Genius Hour concept makes me feel really good about life because it gives me something to look forward to in school. It takes the whole structured thing out of school and allows me to do something I want to do, and encourages me to do better. The main challenge I was facing was what I actually wanted to do. It really t...

Movie Maker Projects and Stopmotion Projects - April 27th 2018

Image
In the past few weeks, I've been working on some videos. I made 2 videos in Windows Movie Maker, one of which was all pictures about Pot-Bellied Pigs, and the latter which was a project I did with 2 partners, Kyle Wong and Taylor Rai. They were the actors and I was the director in our How to Hockey video. They were both a lot of fun to make and the latter is hilarious. I also did 2 Stopmotion Videos, both of which were very short and done with Taylor Rai. The first one is Pac-man being drawn, and the second one is Taylor sliding on the ground. The first one was made in Funmotion, and the latter was made with iMotion. I hope you enjoy!
