I feel rather fortunate for being able to work on the project before its officially assigned. However, this good feeling is often overshadowed by my newfound realization of my understanding of the language. Although the project was introduced as a tool which would help quiz averages, i have found the project to be an assessment tool of sorts. In short, the results aren't pretty. According to my lack of progress within the hour i got to work on the project, it seems that i need to strengthen my understanding of coding syntax, the use of output/input variables (as well as arguments) and etc. The list is quite daunting and aside from looking over previous labs and slides, i dont know how to improve.
The task as hand is surprising at best and undeniably intimidating. The comprehensive nature of the assignment definitely amps up the difficulty. In the project, students are expected to "to help an angry bird choose its trajectory so it can hit a pig located at a certain distance d and at a certain elevation h from the bird's position." Unfortunately, or fortunately, however you see it, in this first hour alone i've made some discoveries.I don't read very thoroughly. Instead of reading and understanding the hint,i tried to find velocity on my own. sigh. Its times like these that I feel like a genius.
