Implementing Classes

-


    Today I went to my internship ready to study and learn. I got to the Flatiron School and started to work on my code, but then I went to a standstill. I first opened up the HTML link in google chrome. I saw the sky, the bird, and the man, which is a very good sign. I then tried to move my little guy through the use of my arrow keys, but I just got an error. My little guy was stuck at a standstill. I spent a lot of time looking at my code to see what might be causing this error, but I couldn't find it. I kept trying and trying but soon just decided on asking for help. My Internship guide looked at my code and was able to see the problem. The problem was with one of my variables in my crash function.
    After we fixed this problem, It was time to implement classes into my code. Classes essentially just help to clean up your code. So, I put in a class for my little guy, saved it, and then opened the code up in google chrome. I looked at the screen, and the console was throwing an error. I then went back to my code to try and fix it, but I couldn't figure out how. I asked my internship guide to try and fix my code, but he was just as puzzled as I was. Now both of us couldn't figure out what was wrong. During the rest of my time until 11:00 A.M, we were working on trying to put a class into the code. We were ultimately not successful, but I am excited to work on it next week.

Doing a Little Review

-
     Today, I worked on making a gif move. The work I am doing is a little review from last semester. If y'all can't remember, last semester I worked on making a little character move north, south, east, and west. I enjoyed working on my gif move all of these directions. Although, Instead of a little human character, this time we are using Link (A character from the Legend of Zelda).      First I started with a setInterval function. This function held the if statement, that if the direction is == (== is used to compare and not to assign something) to 'right', + 1px to the character's.left attribute. The 1px means to add 1px to where Link is located on the canvas. For example, if Link is assigned '200px' to the left attribute, which is otherwise the x-axis; then adding 1px makes it so the '200px' will keep increasing by one. This means the character will start to move to the right. To make Link go left, one just needs to add -1px . If one wan...

Making Classes

-
    Today I went to my internship and I worked on making classes for my code. A class is essentially for cleaning up your code. It stores a bunch of information in that class which can later be called in the main code.  I started reading about this, and I found some text that seemed very complicated. To my surprise, making a class wasn't as complicated as I thought, although implementing a class into my code is a whole different story.     I made a bunch of classes while I was at my internship. The class I worked on first was for movement. So all of the variables assigned to the keys so that the little guy can walk. There was also a class for the character itself. Another class was made for the bird. The bird in the code posed as an obstacle for my character. When my character came into contact with the bird, he would stop. I also made a class for the crash. This had my huge if statement saying that "if the man (the makeshift square) came into contact...

Using the Arrow Keys

-
Using the Arrow Keys     Today was the third time being at my internship. Exciting right!! I continued on the same project that I have been working on from last week. Last week I worked on making a little giph walk north, east, south, and west, through the use of some functions. I would essentially call a function that I had already created. For instance, if I called walkNorth(). This is telling the console that I have called this variable, and that the computer is going to find this walkNorth() variable and run what this variable is assigned to do. In this case, I assigned this variable to walk north. How I did that is a little more complicated, so for now, all you need to know is that this giph walks north when the variable walkNorth() is called. I also made different variables called walkEast(), walkSouth(), and walkWest, and assigned them to walk in there specific direction. Calling these variables one by one is kind of inconvenient because I would h...
