Game Review #9: Story teller

I played at http://www.ludomancy.com/games/StoryTeller.html

It was fun to see different possibilities of this game.

 

Compared to LGS:

LGS is more fun and helps you with coding

A diagram or drawing of how it worksA

• A diagram or drawing of how it works
• A description of what you are going to do. I am going to make a Lego fighter bot which has a bumper so it is a fighting bumper car thing!!
• A reason for why it will be cool. It is cool because it will be strong and I will out sensors so it will be very smart..
• A diagram, picture, or drawing of what the final product will look like

  2. Processing: Game Project
  3. Lego: Robot Project
  4. Java: Objects and Algorithms

Game review #8

This game was fun but was hard. I liked it because you could switch games.

Blog: Robot Arm

• What was wrong with the Robot Arm? It did not pick up and drop balls correctly.
• What did you do to fix it? Fix the code to make it correct.
• What did the Robot Arm do?  It went out of control and did not obey our commands 😦
• What is the difference between when Eclipse uses a yellow line versus using a red line? Which one is an error and which one is a warning? Yellow line is a warning reminding you of an error which you could possibly make while the red line is telling you an error which you made.
• What is the difference between a LOGIC error and a COMPILE error. Which type of errors did the Robot Arm have? Compile is when it fails to be compiled. A logic error is when the code has some errors with what you put so it is not what you want it to be.
• Why do we use code libraries like the leJOS NXJ? So that eclipse understand that we are making a Lego nxt code for our robot.
• What is gamification? The use of game theory to solve problems/questions.
• How mad was Kevin, the mad scientist? Why was he mad? Because it was not mad correct and he made so many claws!!
