In-Depth Blog #3: Less C but starting C++
Update 1: Link should be working now.
This post is for the period from February 5th to February 18th. At this point, I am still ahead of schedule, but the schedule is catching up because I haven’t done much C programming these last two weeks. However, I have started C++ with Alice.
With my mentor’s recommended programming, C++, I have done my first set of Alice programs. They were pretty easy because they did not involve me making a program, I just had to set up scenes. I had to add, duplicate, move, and rotate objects. For one program I had to affect their subparts (arms, legs, hats, etc.).
No frustrations or challenges at this time. However I have corrected my crash avoidance program to make it stop while turning. Here is the link for the program.
For next week, I am trying to make a program that records your reflexes by making a sound, having you clap, and recording the time difference. Also, I am trying to get the robot to find a light source and move towards it. I also will have a new robot built as well.

Owen, I am impressed with your continued dedication and progress with this project. I cannot open your link. No access. Any ideas why?
