Has been fun reading all your entries, we have some very violent people here! A couple already plotting Guido's death! Check out other's blogs if you don't already!

Navigating the maze -
Bonus Challenge 1: Collect all beepers on maze2.wld
Bonus Challenge 2: Collect all beepers on maze2.wld and end at the exit
Bonus Challenge 3: Collect all beepers on maze3.wld

In order to complete Challenge 3 you may need to add some beepers to start in Guido's bag. (I needed 124)

Create a program to have Guido harvest this field. You may want to alter the code/algorithm that was suggested for Step 15 to make him do it in a quicker process.

After harvesting all the beepers, guido needs to bring them to the storage shed in the south west corner (1,1). He needs to drop all the beepers, then move to the east and turn around. When the program ends, Guido should be looking at the pile of beepers.

Guido, Civil Servant of the Year, after spending the day cleaning up second street, strutted his stuff on the dance floor of the local dance club.

Guido goes to school!

Guido builds walls!

Today we will be finishing looking at Chapter 1, then we will begin programming a robot!!

Welcome to Computer Programming!

Welcome to class! I've been looking forward to this class for the past 8 months ever since I learned I would be teaching it this semester. I hope you are as excited as I am! We will be learning new problem solving techniques and new ways to look at problems. We will also be learning a new language with its own grammar and syntax. We will have a lot of fun, and be challenged in many ways!

First Assignment

For this class you will need to create a blog site. On this site you will be posting a short journal entry during each class discussing things you have learned or are struggling with. You can also post about the project you are working on and difficulties you are having with it. This journal will be a large portion of your grade (40%). It does not need to be a huge task each day, but I want to be able to see how you are doing and what you are struggling with.

The blog you create needs to be solely used for this class. Be sure that you enable comments for registered users so I can comment on your posts and give you pointers.

Also, once you have created your site, comment on this post and give me the website of your blog. I will be adding links to each of your sites.

To create the page, click on the link at the top of this page "Get your own blog".
