day 1: PaintPot/MoleMash

Okay guys I have NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. Also I can't get my emulator to work, so I will warn you ahead of time I have no idea if these work or not.

So PaintPot was kind of fun to mess with. The first variation was pretty simple, since I went back to it after doing MoleMash and just made new labels to display color and dot size. Clicking the buttons would change the corresponding label to that color/number. I couldn't figure out how to do the second variation since I have no idea how TextBox works. Anyway it's kind of a mess.

Also yes I know my screen is STUPIDLY SMALL. :]














To the left is a very zoomed out view of my MoleMash, and this is kind of a giant mess!

After following the instructions given, I added a set of labels - Moved/MovedCountLabel, which increase by one after a click, whether or not it actually hit the mole, and displayed next to the hits/misses labels. The reset button also reset the moved label to 0. I also added buttons Speed Up and Slow Down, which respectively decreased the clock's timer interval by 50/increased it by 50.

Then I ran into issues trying to do the other two variations, which didn't go so well. I added another image sprite.

This is totally a good image.

It was easy enough modifying the moveMole function to move the smiley too. The problem is, I'm not sure what the touchedSprite value refers to - like does it refer to the mole, the smiley, or both?

Also I had NO IDEA HOW TO DO THE LAST VARIATION.

And then I couldn't think of anything to put so I just started adding different color options and removed the dots from PaintPot because they were irritating me. The buttons are pretty simple; basically the same thing as the red/green/blue buttons, but replaced with that particular color. They also should change in the color display.

I'm sorry but that cat is going to haunt me in my sleep if I stare at it any longer.

  1. I struggled with the variations so I am jealous that you were able to do them so easily. Maybe you can help me in class tomorrow? Also I like your smiley face :)
