Core Competency Self Assessment – Computer Programming 11
Reflection:
| One of the assignments, the “flower field, wasn’t working. For this assignment, we had to copy some of the teacher’s code, and then write some of our own to make the turtle draw flowers at random positions. At first, the flowers were being drawn outside the screen, which didn’t make sense. So I played around with the buffer sizes until it looked ok to me. Another problem I ran into was when I asked the computer to make 4 flowers, it made 16. For some reason, it squared the number of how many flowers I wanted. So I compared the teacher’s code and mine, and it turns out I added a random line that she didn’t have. That’s fixed now. I think I did pretty good on this assignment overall. 1) it works. 2) I added flower stems and a flower pot to be a bit more creative. |
