Week 3

Well this week is coming to a close. We learned about procedure commands where it makes typing in all those commands a LOT easier.

To Shape
Repeat 4 [Fd 100 Rt 90]
End

Then when you type shape in the command box it makes a square!

to awesome
Repeat 360 [squares rt 1]

to squares
Repeat 4 [fd 100 rt 90]
end

These commands make this:

Until next time viewers, this is Merk Merkman saying:

Week 2

This week we learned about Repeat Commands. They let us repeat a number of commands more than once. Like: repeat 4 [fd 100 rt 90] This command makes a 12 sided polygon --->  repeat 12 [fd 100 rt 30]
This command makes 1/4 of a circle ---> repeat 360 [fd 1 rt .25]
One challenge I came across though this week was on one of our assignments. We had to make a star with only one repeat command. I eventually got it and completed the assignment.

Well that's all for now. Until next time...


Suck it Alex Trebek!!!

Week 1

Well this week was surprisingly fun. I didn't think this class was going to be so enjoyable. Well anyways, we learned about Logo. I'll leave a key on what happens when you type certain commands in the box. We also learned about binary codes on the computer. I mean holy crap that was confusing!

Binary- Let's take the number 345 for example. This is a three digit number. We know that the farthest right number, 5, represents the 1's column, and there are 5 ones. The next number from the right, the 4, represents the 10's column. There are 4 clicks in the 10s column, which we interpret as forty. Finally, the third column that contains the 3 represents the 100s column, and we know it to be three hundred.

Logo Key
fd= Makes the cursor go forward
bk= The cursor goes back
pu= Picks the cursor up so it can't write
pd= Puts the pen down

setpencolor= Sets a color to the cursor so you write in that color

Until next time, it's Merk Merkman!!!

Starting Off

Well we started our blogs today in Principals Of Computer Science. This year is gonna be hectic. Oh well I think I'll live. Until the next post, chicka chicka yeah, it's Merk Merkman!
