Dear Class:

Today, we are transitioning to GameMaker Studio. GameMaker Studio should now be loaded, although you may have to go to the C drive to load it. The first tutorial consists of:

Resource 2
Resource 3
Resource 4
Resource 5

We will see how we do!

Shooter Game I want to do the shooter that I had done previously. Let me know if there are problems getting the sprites for this one if we get to the shooter. Thanks.

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

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
