CLASS 9: M 3D ROCKET IN MESHMOON

created my own world on the meshmoon website and now I am using the building tools to create my rocket.

using the building tools to create some shapes.

using the entity editor to change the shapes and scale the parts of my rocketship

using the entity editor again to angle the cone so it more likely resembles a tail fin.

the best I have so far lol

a couple of last minute adjustments to make it a little more nicer looking.

It was very difficult creating this rocket ship. It took me a long time just to figure out how to begin. Thanks to the help of a few classmates though I started to get the hang of it. It is very tedious work though.

Class 7, WebGL: Progressing with PlayCanvas.

basic keyboard input tutorial

adding some code in the designer area

basic mouse input tutorial

coding basic mouse tutorial

basic camera tutorial

It was challenging yet cool to continue learning how to code. The tutorials simplistically showed me how and what to change and edit to achieve the goal. It was tough at first and I found myself going back and forth trying to figure out what to do.

Class 7, FINAL PREPARATION: Choosing a JavaScript programming track

reading about javascript on java's website

reading about javascript on quirksmode website

starting to learn coding on khanacademy

continuing my learning on khan academy

scoring some points for my awesome coding

coding tutorial on code academy

continuing tutorials on code academy

more tutorials on code academy

more on code academy

getting a little more complicated on code academy

Between KhanAcademy and CodeAcademy I would have to choose KhanAcademy as the victor. It had very detailed step by step instructions. A cool feature of KhanAcademy was thought whenever you typed in code the image of what you were coding would immediately show up on the right. It was nice because it was instantaneous. CodeAcademy was good and it had a smooth interface but I just preferred how much more helpful Khan Academy was.
