This was SO difficult!!!


In Case 5 we had to make a ground for our character to walk on. But the ground couldn't be a straight line. This was a though case, with new codes, and this time we were pretty much left on our own to figure out the crypted codes.

as usually I didn't manage on my own - I really tried, and wrote all the codes that I could possibly understand, but nothing help, and nothing came up. I wasn't able to come to the group meeting at Monday this week, and therefor I got a little bit behind with my work. The background was designed, but I had no movements in the codes.

On Today's workshop, I got some really good help, and one of the groupleaders taught me a little bit about what the different codes means. I guess that is my biggest challenge, that I don't understand any of the codes - but he challenged me to try to explain to him what they ment, and I learned a great deal from that.

The rest of the lesson I spent on listening to others getting help, looking at their codes and comparing mine with them, and tried to figure out what went wrong.
After some time with trying and failing, I suddenly cracked the codes, and managed to put a background on the screen (which is part of next case), with at scene for my character to walk on, and also enable her to walk to left and right AND jump!!!

I'm so happy, and I feel really relieved that I finally have made something work (almost) on my own!

Yahooooo!!

Finally, I've completed case 4!

This was the most difficult case so far. We've just come back from the study week, and we've been left alone for a whole week without classes. This has been challenging, aspecially since we have to hand in an assignment tonight, which includes all our four cases.

In case 4 it was time to learn how to connect the character to the keyboard - and make the character move to right and left. When nothing happens the character shall take an idleposition. This was extremely difficult for one as little in to computers as I am - surprisingly I managed to make my character move, or more glide to right and left using the keyboard, but she didn't move her legs and the idle was missing.

Since there were no classes during the study week I was practically left alone with some books that I don't understand, and I had to ask for help in today's meeting with the group. Luckily I got the help I needed, and am now ready to hand in the assignment.
