Week 3 Plans

Weekend/Monday: Holiday, but have plan for pair showcase completed. My partner and I chose option 2 and decided to make a Tron game using JavaScript. We will try to include interactions with python by diplaying tips whenever a player loses and with linux to keep track of scores, deaths, and kills.
Tuesday: Start making/finding JavaScript code for Tron game. Consult Mr. Mortensen, peers, and/or ChatGPT for help. Make sure to read code carefully and edit as necessary.
Wednesday: Continue to edit game code to make its appearance cleaner (adjust to theme of website), movements smoother, etc. Sign up for pair showcase (Friday).
Thursday: Create interactions in other languages (Python and Linux). Make sure we can present our project in depth.
Friday: Practice presentation aspect, then complete pair showcase. Don’t be nervous!!

Create Tron game with interactions in JavaScript, Python, and Linux
Customize game appearance with colors, etc.
- Tried to add Mr. Mortensen as a player but unfortunately did not work (might try again later)

Actual presenting part:

Talk about our code (javascript game code, game tip python, linux quiz)
- JS: similar concept to snake –> needed a new function for players everytime –> class; first code didn;t have working collision logic –> playable cells
- Python: searches web with key words, parsed through websites, list of randomized phrases that are displayed for losing player
- Linux: quiz code –> doesn’t work in jupyter notebook but does in terminal (jupyter can’t read input)
Discuss problems we faced and how we overcame challenges
- Beginning Tron game code did not have collision logic (nobody could win or lose)
  - Tried to ask ChatGPT but did not get successful responses
  - Needed to create grid background –> whenever units overlap, game ends
- Difficulties integrating python in javascript game
  - Made a ipynb file in _notebooks and connected it to javascript code
  - Now displays websites that have gaming tips for the losing player
