Lab15: Color Sleuth

This lab is actually a very simplistic app designed for phones. The app was called the ColorSleuth that is just game with four squares, with three being the same color and one being a different shade of the same color. The purpose of the game is to find the square that is the different color and you are rewarded points or deducted points based on your choice. While this may not seem like the most exciting game, it was very difficult to code the game in order for it to work. The app is also designed for two players which adds an extra layer in the coding process. The purpose of this lab was to implement what we learned so far in javascript to making an actual app.

It was a blessing that we created the app on code.org because it gave step by step instructions in the javascript code needed. There were a lot pf variable that needed to be created as well as function to manage the complexity of the code. The use of if-else statements was also essential to the functionality of the app. The main variable needed where variables to keep track of each players score, and variables to define the rgb value of the squares. The variable to define the rgb values was slightly more complex because they had to random color but at the same time the one square that was different had to be around the same shade, so therefore, the variables had to increase by 20. The function that were used were one to check if the square click was the correct one, one to switch the players, one to update the score, and one to check if the game should end.

This lab was great practice implementing different kinds of code to create a cohesive and functioning app.

Lab4-Color Table

Image
The directions for lab 4 was to create a table made up of hues and the corresponding hexadecimal value for the hue. In order to complete this lab a new HTML tag was introduced, the <table> tag which creates a table. however that isn't the only tag necessary to complete the lab we also needed to use the <tr> and <td> tags. tr signified a row on the table and td signified a row in the table; with all three tags we could create and manipulate a table into what we needed. The actual table we created consisted of three columns and twenty rows. The three columns are the color name, hexadecimal value, and the actual hue. Each row had a different hue and the first row is the titles for the columns. We didn't have regular colors, such as red or blue, we had absurd hues that had names you only see on crayons like Dark Magneta and Midnight Blue. Of course we didn't know the hexadecimal value of the hues; therefore we used w3schools to search up the values, it had it

Lab16: My First JavaScript

Image
This lab was the very first time we implemented JavaScript into our webpages. While we have been practicing JavaScript on code.org, that was the only platform we used. Now for the first time our website have HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It may not be complex JavaScript, but it is a small step as an introduction. The lab was just create a button that when pressed would change the contents of the paragraph written. We also create a base format for our webpages so wouldn't have to keep repeating the same long process of writing the basic html codes. The button was quite easy to create because all that was needed to be done was to create a button tag inside a script tag. The script tag specifies that whatever inside the tag is pure JavaScript and the button tag is exactly was the name entities, a button. It was small step, but I suppose we will build off these skills until we eventually get into complex JavaScript.

MLH Local Hack Day 2017

Image
This past Saturday, December 2, Queens College hosted a local hackathon on their campus. As a student currently enrolled in a computer science class it was a great opportunity for me and other classmates to learn and showcase our skills. Walking into the hackathon was a little bit daunting because most if not all the participants were college students except for me and the other people from my class that also attended. However, once the actual event began I didn't feel out of place, on the contrary the people where very nice and welcomed me even though I was very young. The first secession/activity was a sort of free learning hour where we had the freedom of doing whatever we wanted. The organizers gave us a link to the MLH website and there were multiple activities that we were able to do, but they all involved programs that I was unfamiliar with and they all were very complex. Therefore, it was basically an hour of just learning what different programs did and the basic commands
