Dear Class:

I want to finish off Visual Studio. I want to, as a class, look generally at how to manipulate each of the "objects" put into a program about "Feelings". You will name each picture as "PicHappy", "PicOK", and "PicSad" and for the text, "TextHappy", "TextOK", and "TextSad".

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)

We finished Lesson 7 in which you did the "BMI" calculator. I recorded those last time. I do want to do the "grade" calculator in Lesson 10

Today, I wanted 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:
