Dear Class:

This is an add on to the previous part we were doing.

We finished Lesson 7 in which you did the "BMI" calculator. Do the radial button and the "grades" that are in Lesson 10...

As an exit "test" for Visual Basic, you are being asked to create a program on your own that you create from scratch. It has to have at least 2 buttons, four text boxes and 4 labels. It must serve a function, such as figuring out sales tax for purchases. Today, I hope to look at transitioning to GameMaker 8.0. GameMaker 8.0 is already loaded, although you may have to go to the C drive to load it. The first tutorial consists of:

Dear Class:

There is a good source of tutorials at http://www.vbtutor.net/ that I want to look at.

I want to go over Lesson 6 as described below. We will work on the 7th lesson of the tutorial at the website

Lesson 1 had us just do a simple button. In lesson 2, we started to do a simple calculator. I was going to check off most of yours but was not able to do all of them. The next lessons are old friends. Lesson 3 talks about properties, including color schemes and naming of the window. Lesson 4 talks about object oriented program "OOP" and Lesson 5 speaks of writing the code. Lesson 6 refreshes our minds about managing data (integers, etc. that we have seen before) and then Lesson 7 is about Mathematical Operations in which you will all do the "BMI" calculator (your fat). I hope to get this far today...

Please do the "Lottery" VB program today

We are finished with Chapter Four. I will have a test on it the beginning of class on Wednesday, just to give you notice... We will do the "Grades" together and you will do the 'Sales Tax' and 'Wages' sample programs on your own. It will be two programs that are similar to those two. The majority of you only did one of them. I also did not get "Grades" from a lot of you. I will give you the first half hour to finish these off and to check your grades to see what you did not do

Dear Class: Happy Day After Halloween!!!

We will start and continue with Chapter 3. These are more of a review of math with a few new twists to the standard operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. There will be the modulus which will include the leftover. We will just continue in Chapter 3 from there. Page 48...do 3-5 and screen shot. Page 44 we will look at the code list 3-2 but we will not do it. We will look closely, however, at page 45, because of the "statements" and "results". I want to talk about Overflow and Underflow.

Together, do code list 3-4 on page 47. Page 48...do 3-5 and screen shot. Do 3-8 and look at 3-10. We will continue from there.
I talked about pages 54 and 55 regarding mixed data types and how it affects calculations. There is a reference to "promotion" and "typecasting". Read these two pages on your own. Please run and print and hand in. At times there will be a "truncated" issue with floating-point number. Read on your own page 56 and 57. Page 57 has the same code list, more or less, as page 55. Just look at that code and see what was changed and what it would do. Together, do code list 3-3 on page 46. We will continue from there. I want you to "copy" the review questions on page 62-63, 1-10 and 1-10, answer them, save on google docs, and put in your shared folder. Do project 3-1 and Project 3-4 and run them. I will check them on screen and then grade them.

As a quiz, we did Activity 2-1 on your own. This will count as the exit quiz for Chapter 2. Dilbert

We move into Math Operations for Chapter 3. These are more of a review of math with a few new twists to the standard operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. There will be the modulus which will include the leftover. I want to look particularly a page 45 and the using of arithmetic operators. I want to do the "Bus Trip" Page 1 and page 2 program. It is more advanced but I think it important that you see what a simple operator can do. We will just continue in Chapter 3 from there.

Dear Class:

The first programs are simple but you need to practice these programs to get them to work properly. Make sure you understand the five parts of the basic structure of a C++ program: 1) Compiler directive #include, 2) Main Function, 3) Braces to mark the beginning and end 4) Statement followed by a ; last statement is return 0; and 5) can also have comments which are ignored by the compiler but necessary to the programmer.

We need to break down your programs.

We will be talking about the five basic data types: int, Float, Double, char, and void. Assignment statements. These will be important in the developing an algorithm and coding the problem. This will take us into the first half of Chapter 2. We will look at this together!

Chapter 2
Binary Code

Good day to you! We will begin with looking and naming variables. To initialize a variable you simply assign it a value. You must declare a variable before you can use it. On page 29-30, there are examples of keywords and improper C++ variable identifiers. Check out the character and equivalent decimal value located on page 30.

Do 2-1 in book on page 27 and then do the step by step 2-2. Do step 2-3 on page 29 and check if there is a difference? We need to look at Floating Point Variables, Boolean Variables, and Constants. Do code list 2-3 on Page 34. Do code list 2-4 on page 36.

Finally, please enter, compile, and run Project 2-2 on page 40. This will probably bring us to the end of the class.

We will get to "Hello World!" and make sure that we figure out any "bugs" it has. I uninstalled Bloodshed and reinstalled it again with a compiler. It should work fine now...I tested it. Also, I have the magnifier on my computer that has been "pinned" to my menu.

I will have a scan of parts of the text entitled Introduction to Computer Science Using C++ 3rd edition. This may be checked out in the book room if you wish.

We will look at binary numbers (machine language) this class.

We will have a quiz on the vocabulary words next class!

Dear Class:

We will finish the "Automobiles" database today. This is the first part of the Database/Programming class that consists of Database that is broken up into three projects: The rough data that the class supplied and that we "roughed in" using Excel. Then, we exported data from Excel to work on. The second section was information from MyTunes that had been exported in and we created a report and a query, going over what each entailed. The last section is the "Access" final project. This is information that is provided by me. The final reports and queries will all look the same after you run them...The grading will be very precise on this one! This means that if you were not precise in entering data, the queries and reports you run will not be the same as your neighbors.

If you get done early, and I know some of you will, you may use the following link for "educational games". I need them evaluated anyway as to how good they are. We may have a pop quiz on Database today! You can do this until the majority of the class is complete in the two reports and 5 queries that are required.

Finally, we will start programming...beginning with machine language. We will talk about the progression of programming language. Hopefully, at the end of the period, we will create notes on programming in general and C++ notes in particular in a google document.

Dear Class:



Worked on and more or less finished Excel. They should be cleaned up!!!! Period 5 did not turn in their sheets analyzing MyTunes spreadsheet/database. You were to have made queries using the right tools. That is due today! What is a database?

Watch the Tutorial on Access. (approx. 24 minutes) The teacher will go to the site and play "Access 2010/2013", Beginner, "Introduction" 2013 and "Database Terminology" and perhaps "Planning Your Database". You will be taking notes in a google doc entitled "Database Notes" that will then be put into your shared folder so that I can see it.

Why use a database—information about customers, information about inventories, any type of information a business would need. You can design, manipulate, sort, and print.

Who has a database—schools, libraries, government, stores, banks, business on inventory and employees



Record?

Field?
Requirements: contain a unique name, describe the field, <= 64 characters, cannot begin with a space, can’t use . , ! [ ]

Fields have data types—text, number, currency, date/time, yes/no, OLE Object (picture), hyperlink (address), lookup wizard (giving options)

Field size—usually default works but you can assign different sizes
Who has a long name that always gets cut off???

Last class I had you go to to a spreadsheet, however, because a few of the students made changes that made it apparent that some could not take this task seriously, you will have to open a google spreadsheet and enter in each category in the first row of cells and then answer the questions below. This means more work and less time for GameMaker at the end of the semester. Period 7 Period 7 (?) Period 5

Mrs. Ekroth was here last Friday. She had you take some notes and we will add to those. I also was given to understand that you started a "preliminary" database and we will continue with that.

Icebreaker—creating a database about our class
What do we want to find out about each other:

Dear Class:



EXCEL to start...then videos on Database...the boring ones!!!! What is a database?

Watch the Tutorial on Access. (approx. 24 minutes) The teacher will go to the site and play "Access 2010/2013", Beginner, "Introduction" 2013 and "Database Terminology" and perhaps "Planning Your Database". You will be taking notes in a google doc entitled "Database Notes" that will then be put into your shared folder so that I can see it.

Why use a database—information about customers, information about inventories, any type of information a business would need. You can design, manipulate, sort, and print.

Who has a database—schools, libraries, government, stores, banks, business on inventory and employees



Record?

Field?
Requirements: contain a unique name, describe the field, <= 64 characters, cannot begin with a space, can’t use . , ! [ ]

Fields have data types—text, number, currency, date/time, yes/no, OLE Object (picture), hyperlink (address), lookup wizard (giving options)

Field size—usually default works but you can assign different sizes
Who has a long name that always gets cut off???

Dear Class: This is the second, and last, part of the final. This will encompass using GameMaker to create a game with the following parameters: Use ducks and beavers (see evil OSU and the great and fantastic UofO) in which the two sides do battle within a room. Please make obstacles such as high school, diploma, and etc.. Good Luck! Sincerely, Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class: Today is the first part of the final: Finish your "Shooter". In the end, I want a plane that fires correctly at the designated spot and at least one "enemy plane" that comes at your plane. There should be the sounds, explosions, and then disappearance. Also, the main plane should go up, down, left, and right. Please "recreate" the following: Open up Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express to create this. Look at your old programs you did to help. Good Luck! Sincerely, Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class: Today we wrap up GameMaker. For the final, I will separate it into two parts: Visual Basic and GameMaker. On Thursday will be the first part and you will create a program using Visual Basic based on prior work and my specifications. On Thursday, you will create a game based on GameMaker which will be simple, yet elegant. I look forward to seeing these! Sincerely, Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class: WELCOME BACK!!!!! The first tutorial we did together with the evil clown. We should be done with that...We should also be done with the "first tutorial" on that site that consists of the cherries, apples, etc that were worth points. I want to do the shooter tutorial that exists at: shooter that I had done previously. Let me know if there are problems getting the sprites for this one. Thanks. Sincerely, Mr. Green-Hite
