The first version of the game was finished and published today! For "legal reasons," the actual logo was replaced with a pretty color-changing cube. Download the game and party!
Okay, I'm done with school. Peace.

I was able to eliminate the other errors today...
But then the DVD logo would not move. *sad air horn*
So I will somehow finish tomorrow. Somehow. But other than that, I'm mostly done.

Good news! I'm down to 6 errors and a warning!
What I did was I moved the methods that allow the velocity of the logo to change to the Logo class and rewrote it to bounce as required. And it (mostly) worked!
Now to rewrite the UMLs...

A tiny rant here:
This morning, I continued working on the two classes, and lo and behold, another 20 errors pop up.
That's right, I was up to 87 errors.
I spent the entirety of first period and half of second period trying to figure out what went down, and it turns out that 1) I declared a bunch of stuff in the wrong places with the wrong visibilities, and 2) I was using the wrong methods in Screensaver.

So pretty much I spent all of today learning how stupid I am and backtracking to fix it.
Oh yeah, and I pretty much have to redo everything.
EVERYTHING.

I'm on the hairy edge of just giving up, so here are some memes to "celebrate."

Hahaha, the AP World exam is today! #onlevelftw
So if you were curious, I did finish the directed study final... the period before. You have no idea just how done I am with high school. Seriously, I have been over it since the first day of my freshman year. I'm so glad to not have to do worth a ______ for most of my classes anymore.
Except, of course, that graduation is going to be the (overly exaggerated) epitome of everything I hate about school. PATDOWNS to line up for the procession? Are you kidding? I've had enough of school simulating a police state.

Impromptu rambling aside, the UMLs will be up later today. I continued writing the Screensaver class and had (67!) errors when I compiled, so that made for a lot of fun and joy. I also started the Logo class and luckily had no errors.

*casual air horn*
So in all honesty, I don't feel like doing work at the moment (even though I have my directed study final today and don't even have a presentation ready, lol), so I'm going to make some stupid observations until I have the motivation to do something:
Since I finished the Screensaver UML, I started writing the class, which should help me figure out what is needed for the Logo class.
By the way, here's a joke: everything will go as planned.
- None of the sophomores look like they want to be here.
- A certain person is humming, and everyone is staring. XD
- Now a lot of other people are humming.
- There's absolutely no way I will start humming too.
- Oh crap, I only have 30 minutes of class left.
- Now I am motivated.

Today, I began making the UML diagram by looking at the previously constructed Game and GameObject classes to determine the methods available to me to make the screensaver game. Since I decided to make a score for the number of times the logo hits the corner, I determined that my main class will have to contain an additional variable to facilitate that. I also tried to figure out how to import the DVD logo to make it a sprite (emphasis on tried because I got nothing).

Once upon a time, a magical noscoper of the lands of Google and Georgia Tech came to Milton. The noscoper, being of these unusually geeky lands, decided to lecture a group of young scrubs and upcoming noscopers like himself about the sorcery he conducts. Many spells were introduced to the scrubs, who, not being geeky themselves, hid themselves out of fear of the power the elder noscoper wielded. But, in an act to win the scrubs as allies, the noscoper bestowed many gifts to the young scrubs... including a Google shower cap. (I'm looking at you, Jordan.)
Medieval MLG fantasy aside, I got nothing done today because of the presentation... but methinks thou shalt behold the gifts I reap'd.

So pretty much I made this website and posted the project description on the home page. I also decorated the page with wonderful pictures of the DVD screensaver, looked over the game engine previously used to make Pong, and began making variations of the logo required in the game. Hooray.
Also, there sadly have not been any corner hits yet.
