The Flash Fun Continues

Our Camtasia video should be up by the end of the week. We have made it through the learning curve and will be able to create the videos more efficiently in the future. Our Flash video is still in the building stages though.  We know exactly what we want it to do and are working together as pair programmers to implement the movies. We created the movie plot and example code together on paper and have gone through Flash tutorials. Since this planning is done, we are just working on the technical implementation.

Flash Video

Well it turns out this Flash programming is harder than we expected, surprise surprise!  We have drawn up our play by play to see how our Flash game will work.  But now we have to solve the problem of implementation.  We are doing pair programming with Flash this week and will have a demo Flash game up by the end of the week!

Bugs, Bugs, and More Bugs

This past week we have started in on the October bugs.  They have all been downloaded and organized, next up classification.  With only 109 bugs we didn't quite beat last month's record highs (of 144 bugs), but there are still plenty to do.  Our first poster is printed!  I can't quite get the picture of it to post so you'll just have to use your imaginations.  This week along with classifications we'll be finishing up our first Camtasia and Flash videos and getting the website ready to post them.

The Bugs Start Flying in....

The last week was a busy one.  The three of us went to University of Utah to participate in the ACM Programming Competition on Friday night and competed on Saturday.  Much of the week was spent looking at sample problems, fixing the website, making final edits on our first poster. The poster is headed to the printers and well soon be decorating the wall by the tutor labs! We also have learned how to program a little in Flash.  We aren't quite pros but we can all create a moving shape and tell it where to go.  Everything is learned one step at a time though, right?
This week we start on classifying Octobers bugs.  We'll see if we can beat last months record classifications!
