Friday- Be Wary of the Test!

WHAC-A-MOLE is so pro I just had to make a game like it!

  Today Mr.Arkin told us to be ready for a test, supposedly to be given to us some time next week. I believe I know much of the things that will palpably be on the test, nonetheless, I will review all the material that I believe to be necessary. I was informed by my fellow classmates that the test will be only on Subprograms and Substrings. I love Turing and how easy and simplistic it is, yet it still manges to baffle me with its complexity.  I started to love Turing thanks to Mr.Arkin and how he lets us think for ourselves and encourages us to do things on our own.  For example, when I ask him a question, he tries to lead me towards the answer, instead of bluntly giving me the answer.


  Another factor that strengthened the interest I have for Turing was, the Turing animations, one can make a whole game with Turing alone. I managed to make various games, for example one of them the user uses the arrow keys to move a space craft up and down. The user must then shoot the meteors that are coming his/her way. Another one of my games are a replica of WHAC-A-MOLE, however instead of moles you are hitting stars, IN SPACE! Isn't that awesome? these can all be done with Turing and I was not aware of it until a few weeks ago! I have shown it to my fellow peers and they believe my games are extraordinary. I few were so flabbergasted that they thought I had copied the game from somewhere else.
