FOSS Music Player

I was at my friend’s birthday party this past weekend. I was watching the fire pit to the sounds of bouncing Ping-Pong balls and sloshing beverages when, wouldn't yah know it, I got sucked into a conversation about Free and Open Source Software. At this point I am decently comfortable with FOSS things. I know how stuff gets done, I understand the mentality and culture behind it, I have been working at FOSS@RIT a while now. I don’t necessarily participate in it all, but I like its academia, its ...

Week 6: Weekly Wrap-up

It is now the end of the sixth week of this summer research program. This was an interesting week since the Fourth of July was this Thursday. However, even if we didn’t work every day this week, the longer hours with the guest mentor made the week even more productive. I had a busy week working on different features in the game. I was planning on working on the badges this week but I didn’t discuss with the group as a whole to see were everyone was and what were the idea for badges we were all g ...

The Amazing Growing Turtle

Amazing Turtle has really been growing as a project thanks to the amazing Tim Duffy. Amazing Turtle has expanded from just a small set of lessons for students to learn Python using Turtle to a full website that with a simulated Python environment with limited functionality. Eventually the site will allow logins so that students can complete lessons, share their work, and most importantly learn some coding! Organizations ...

Day 29

I figured out what huge source of the errors I was getting thrown at me when I added the strawberry's were from. They way the recipes were being displayed hinged on every ingredient appearing in every recipe. I found this to be a bit of an problem for allowing Lemonade Stand to be flexible. So I created a feature branch where I changed it so that if it doesn't find an ingredient in the recipe dictionary it will just add it with an amount 0. This way there can be a bunch of ingredients and recipe ...

Day 27

I was going to add more ingredients so that having different recipes would be a bit more meaningful. I thought it would be something very simple that I could easily knock out within a couple hours and then move on to working on another feature. However it has just been on long never ending chain of errors. Every time I fix one of the errors another one comes up. It will take a lot longer to go through and fix all the changes required to add in the strawberry ingredient than I thought but I shoul ...

Day 26

With a little bit of work and fixing small typos I have now added a way for recipe to be selected in game. What I did was adapt the old way of doing the profit mini-game and put it at the end of the current end of the day log script. The way it works is that LemonadeGui stores two arrays. One is an array of the array of keys for each option. The other is an array of the current index number for each array of keys. Then eve ...

Day 25

I spent a good amount of time looking through the LemonadeGui.py both the version before our changes and after the changes we made during the summer, trying to figure out how it is all put together so I could put in a small option to select which recipe you would want to make for the next day. I've tried many different ways of the the last few days but nothing worked. Now I fully understand what all the methods are doing. ...
