~12/11/15 Entry #6: Sixth Day

• Today for Google 20 i made a practice game on code academy. I was able to make my computer play rock, paper, scissors with me. It would start by the computer asking me wether i wanted rock, paper or scissors then it would continue the game. I had to program what would happen when each individual choice was chosen so the computer would know what to do. What is does is it plugs in your answer, randomly chooses a computer answer and tells you wether you or the computer won.Its very simple but its fun to make.

• Today for Google 20 i learned a new section of Java Script. Todays lesson focused on loops. Loops are used so we don't have to repeat thimgs over and over again. Its a way to make lists for example, its like you can write a sentence with a For statment, but create a variable that you can easily change in that sentence. Like, I like chocolate. Chocolate is the variable. A loop allows you to change chocolate to vanilla without having to rewrite the rest of the sentence. I also learned about arrays, array is pretty much what I have pretty much described up there^. It can store a list of different data. It is also in a certain order.

• Today I coded my first game on code academy. It was nactually really interesting. I mad the computer ask the age of the player then the player raced Justin Bieber after the concert. It was mostly just using if and else statements tosee if the player was older then 13 or ifthe player wanted to race.Then in the end, the computer asked the player to race the game from 1 to 10. But the weird things is that nobody was actually racing on the computer so I'm still a little confused. Then after that I learned a little bitmore about if/else statements and return statements. The return statement is just the result of the function that was run.

~10/25/15 Entry #4: Third Day

• Today I focused more on the design of my actual game as opposed to the coding of the game. I began to design where the races will take place and who will be the ones racing. I began to plan the structure of the game.My friend asked for me to make her one of the racers so i had to design that as well. The charcters in my game are inspired by the disney princesses. The race tracks are inspired by the different places the Disney Princesses live. For example,one of my race tracks is the Beast from Beauty and the Beast,'s castle. Anothe race track will take place in DisneyLand, right by Cinderellas castle.

~10/17/15 Entry #3: Second Day

• On my second day of Google 20 I contiued my work fromthe first day. I went on Code Academy to continue to learne the Java Script language.So far,I have no idea how I'm going to make a game with this code but that's a problem for future Flavia. In this lesson of Code Academy I learned how to make functions. So basically,you make a variable then you name it. Then you let the computer know it'sa function so it doesn't get confused. Then you fillin what goes around the function in the console.log. Then depending what you choose, the computer will put your variable in. This doesnt make sense as I'm saying it but it does on the program. I also learned to make functions with multiple parameters.

~10/9/2015 Entry #2: First Day

• On my first day of Google 20, I went on Code Academy and learned some basic Java Script language. I did the first section. I learned howJ Java Script uses basic math and strings to connect things. I learned how to make if statements which tells the computer which coed to run depending on wether or not a condition is true or false. Lastly,I learned how to use a variable and connect it to a word or phrase. There are some things that remind me of HTML and CSS.

~10/2/2015 Entry #1: Project Goals

• Google 20 is when a person devotes 20% of their time to their own personal project. The company Google used to do this with their workers.

• My final product goal is to make a cool race car game with a variety of race tracks, cars and characters. I want my game to be able to run smoothly.I got the inspiration from a game called Mario Kart. My theme is going to be Disney Princesses. My game will include different Disney Princesses elements like Cinderella's glass slipper and Merida's little bear brothers. I hope to be able to incorperate many different princesses in my game. I want one of the race tracks to be DisneyLand. All of this will be done with Java Script language.

• I chose this project because I think it might be fun to try to do this.

• In order to build my game I will have to know how to use Java Script. I need to do this because it will be the only way to accomplish my goal. I will learn how to use Java Script through Code Academy and W3 Schools.

• I think creating the sprites will be really hard, coding won't be easy either...
