Final Project: Building my virtual Library Museum

This is FInal #6, Building my Library and Museum . This now includes the construction, glimpses of my research papers and videos, then proof of deconstruction It is a final exercise from the ImmersiveEducationcourse that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at 
http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc  








In my building of my Museum I decided it would be easier to remove some existing items and build up from there. 




Using a brick style for my building I made a rather large property. Then by choosing a single block I was able to rescale it and color it to make my door. 




A pavilion was on my land, had to go. 













In this series I again used single textured blocks and played with the scaling to make my PDFs and my Video Links look like big screen TVs










I took a bit of a break and visited my classmate's worlds. 












Alas, all things must end. I used the removal section under building to remove all the public files to protect from copyright issues. 


 








Final 5C: MY CUSTOMIZED JAVA GAME

This is Final 5C MY CUSTOMIZED JAVA GAME. I had to watch a tutorial and had to follow the instructions on how to personalize my game.The steps here were to use my personal photo as the turtle and the IED logo as the snake.. It is a final exercise from the ImmersiveEducationcourse that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at

FINALLY DONE!







So in this final I was tasked with customizing my game. I took my ugly BC photo ID and resized it per instructions to no more than 100X100 in size and used my image for the "turtle"




Then as per instruction, I took the IED logo to make it the snake. Now we are told no to resize it but wouldn't you know, it wouldn't work on the final product in Greenfoot as is, so I also resized the logo to under 100X100 and SURPRISE!, it works. 




Then I changed the image of the snake to the IED logo so now you'll see my big head being chased and eaten by the IED logo. YAY




Here's a screenshot of my final game and see above for the link to prove I actually completed the task at hand.  

 

FInal 5B: Greenfoot Lettuce and Snake

 This is my rockin Final 5b: Greenfoot Lettuce and Snake. I had to sit through a tutorial and had to follow the instructions on how to program a game myself. There were many steps in creating this game, where turtles eat lettuce and snakes try to eat the turtle. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc  


check my game out y'all






So in this final  I was tasked with adding lettuce for the turtles to eat first. I did so by adding a sub-class and then choosing a title (lettuce) and an image of lettuce. Once that was complete it was easy to drag and drop the lettuce. 





Also learned a handy trick, you right click on the world, click "save the world" and everything you placed in your world reappears, instead of having to add again once you reset or compile. 


 I then chose an new animal, as instructed it was a snake, following the same advice as for the lettuce. 






Here I wanted to have the snake move in the similar fashion as my turtle. So I was easily able to copy the commands of the turtle, and paste them into the snake's commands. 





I then manipulated the actions by changing what the snake sees and does from eating lettuce like the turtle, to eating the fricking turtles!!!





Again I right clicked on the world to "save the world" and was able to share and publish my final version of my game. 






TA DA!!!!!!
 



 


Final 5A: Greenfoot JoC #4 Finally Some Code!

This is Final 5a: Greenfoot JoC #4 Finally some code! It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc  






So in this final exercise we start off with the trick-the-snake blank board. 




We learn how to write in Java code to manipulate what happens, this is me teaching the turtle to move. 




Then we have to get it to turn 




Following the tutorial on JoC blog makes it easier. 




End result is turtles on my page roaming around aimlessly.

Final #3: Group 3D Building Project


It started with a vision of a new utopia. 





Slowly it started to take shape. 




A roof, 4 walls, and some extras 


The class rejected my big pink flamingo idea




So I settled on flowers 




A brick facade, and some windows. 




A nice back deck with some odds and ends. If there are 10 odds and ends on the deck, and 9 disappear, what's left, an odd or an end?




This is the finished product. 




Riordan was so upset with the rest of the class not going with his sick ideas, he hung himself from the rafters.
