Today, like the past 3 classes, included no new videos, and a lot of problems.
I got to class, and compared my code with May's. After looking at a few things, I changed something in my code ( I don't remember exactly what) and it turned out that the counter worked after that ! But, of course, there came another problem. After I reset it, the number of lettuces would not reset and the game would stop after even one lettuce was eaten.
This problem brought us all the way back to one of the first problems that I had. Once again, Mr. Daly tried everything that we possibly could've tried, and still found no solution. We also tried to find a solution to the issue that I wanted the game to stop only once all the turtles in the world were eaten, and not only according to a score counter.
In general the problems were beginning to frustrate me a lot, and I could tell it was doing the same thing to Mr. Daly. I felt that I was losing a lot of valuable time of watching videos on trying to fix what seems to be these never-ending problems. He and I agreed that everything in my code did look logical, but we don't know what was causing all these problems.
So, as a final solution, Mr. Daly advised me to leave this program and keep going on, and maybe come back to trick the turtle later on in the year. This is what I plan to do.
It makes me happy to know that I will finally have a chance to catch up on some videos and learn new things. I will stick more exactly to what he says this time when starting a new program. I will try to watch as many videos as I can, and will even watch some at home to help get back on track as fast as possible.
