It also showed us alittle abit of programing. so it was basic we draw an arrow and the the motion tween to make in move across the page then after we made sure that everyone we at the same point me made a button basicly it is how you make a symbol but you click button in stead. Then right click on the button to open up the options and clicked actions did the programming thing so whe u liked on the button the arrow stoped moving then made a button that made it go.

The last two days of the first week

The past week as been basic work but i already told you about the first two days so lets get on to the last two days. On Thursday Mr. Chiarelli was pushing us to work on the hand outs and look at his blog for the pretest. We are doing a quick run down of the hard ware in the computer i am not 100% sure way but we are. Mr. Chiarelli is really reminding us about the test this Monday. What is it like every five minutes he reminds us "I want u to get this done so you will do good on the test." I don't know Thursday we didn't do much just work on the questions he gave us on the first day so.

Today we came in and he told us to open our books. Mr. Chiarelli want to see what work we have done. Most kids had the work on the computer and hadn't printed it out so we logged on and showed me no big deal. Then he said that because of yesterday that some kids were goofing off that some users were block out of the system and you need to talk to him to get it unblocked because some kids didn't do any work. Today was i working period again and Mr.Chiarelli spent most of the period show us answers to the questions so there was like one page left to do. Mr. Chiarelli again pushed that the test was on Monday. The test is open book so we get to us our notes if you printed it out. I really just want to get to the animation.

The First two days of class

Ok so far we have done nothing super in this class. The way Mr. Chiarelli makes it sounds like we will be doing some pretty sick things later on. Ya so so far we have just taken done some notes. I guess the good thing is unlike normal class the notes and worksheets question we need to answer we do on the computer. Mr. Chiarelli is very organized he has planed out the whole semester already. Most teachers say that but he took it to the next level. He printed out the booklets and it tells u want we are doing everyday.


One of the this we need to do is make this blog i don't know why really it seem semi pointless to me but what ever i need a credit so i will do it. Mr. Chiarelli say this is one of the first course you take to learning how to make video games so i am all in for that. It is what i want to do after all. I guess I will have a lot of class with Mr. Chiarelli in the next couple years. Like Mr. Chiarelli said by the end of this course you will know if this is for you. To tell you the truth most teacher say that about most open course that are building blocks for a career. like my Hardware programing teacher Mrs. Monachino. Hardware programing is the course Mr. Chiarelli keeps talking about when he is saying if you enjoy taking apart computers we do that a little but there a class all about that. But for now all we are doing is the semi boring work that i guess needs to be done before we can start doing the fun stuff .
