Friday, September 19th

Today I watched two videos. It was a half-day, so I did not get a lot done.

The first one I found rather boring- it was no code, just learning about the language of code. Although I find it boring, I do realize that it's important and I will need to know it in the future if I ever write my own code. I learned a lot about class methods and instance methods. What each one is, how they are important and how they are used in code. I learned that instance methods are used a lot more than class methods. I don't understand why that video needed to be 25 minutes long...

The second one talked about image manipulation, and the main thing that we did was change the background of the world. Before watching it, I thought it would be easy and all I would have to do was click " add image" like I would with an actor subclass, but it turns out it was more complicated than that. We wanted to fill the background with one color, and for that you had to go through a process of creating multiple, complicated things in order to achieve that one color background. In the end though, I understood what we needed to do and did it without a problem.

I didn't do anything else this class. Next class my goal is to simply keep on watching videos, like always.
