My Journal!

2/6/21 Comp Sci has been fun this year although I've had some difficulty with making my website look like I visualized it. I've started my website but I need to work on it a lot more before it's completed. I have some ideas for projects that I'm excited to work on.

3/6/21 Comp sci has been going well. I've been working on a codesketch of a box of chocolates that tells you a a fortune when you click on a certain one and I think it's pretty cool so far. I want to finish my website though and make that look nice. We've been learning javascript and it's slightly confusing but I think i'll eventually get the hang of it.

3/14/21 So far in CS1, we’ve learned a few things. What I feel more confident on is more basic HTML codes such as creating a div and programming that to do certain things. I learned how to use variables and the ‘get element by id’ skill to program a code for a response when clicked. I’m still slightly confused about javascript and event listeners. I think as I continue to work on my websites and code sketches I’ll learn to understand better. Github serves as a sort of homepage where all projects can be posted ‘live’. The terminal is used to navigate the actual laptop, not just sublime texts and coding projects.

4/12/21 Today I coded my first array that gives you a food cuisine when you click in order to decide a meal! I was able to do this by adding an event listener of a click, and a variable of a few images and random numbers. When combining the two variables, I am able to click on the box and have it generate a random image from my selection!

5/13/21 I just finished making a codesketch using a conditional statement that changes the picture based on whether the click number is odd or even. I haven't quite figured out how to design the rest of the codesketch and make it cool without just the basic idea, but I'm going to continue working on it. I'm also starting to brainstorm what I want to do for my presentation.
