This is the code that I had after page 23 of Spuy’s tutorial.
The assignment for the weekend was to go through chapter 5 of Rex Van Der Spuy’s Foundation Game Design With Flash. I was concerned about how long this would take. After a computer science course, seeing “GUI” meant headaches and planning to length locations for boxes and pixel creations. Frustrating days of importing things that were later deemed useless and whiteboards being wiped clean of their marks. Long nights in the Computer Science building needing help from the tutors and the TAs.
I was concerned- thinking there was no way I could do the list that was requested. Our professor had requested that we start as early as possible. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible for me. As of 2:20 on Friday I had left for Tulane in Louisiana for an Equestrian competition. I got back Sunday night and started on Monday as soon as my classes were over. Thankfully, the tutorial helped greatly. It was easy to understand and I managed to get done in roughly an hour and a half.
This is my final product with the strange numbers at the bottom. What do they mean?
The tutorial wasn’t hard to follow and I didn’t have many problems. One of the main issues I had wasn’t really an issue, but there was a solution to it in the tutorial. Every time I entered a number into the field I would automatically press Enter. Unfortunately that lead to issues with even the correct number being registered as correct. Once I made the computer listen to the enter key, that problem was solved. However, a mystery appeared. The mystery was in the other numbers that appeared in the output section at the bottom. I’m not sure what they do and I know they aren’t the numbers I entered. What are they indicating? They only appeared after I hooked up the enter key command.
