(Compilation screenshot) - Insert here a screenshot of the result of compiling the above source code: NetBeans IDE 7.3.1 compiles but it did not go to the screen so I could see it, this is why I sent you a message yesterday to let you know this. But the program did run without any problems.…
Throughout history, Art has been a form of expression that has altered situations, revolutionized methods of thought, and shaken worlds, both building them up and crumbling them downward. These days however, Art has become a form which is underrated and under appreciated due to the technological and business worlds taking over. Despite these advancements though, Art has continued to build and expand into different forms, pushing the limits of what was originally defined as “Artistic”. One of these forms which has quickly risen along with the increase in technology includes video games, which are utilized primarily for entertainment to various audiences, both young and old. When created in a unique manner though, these games can prove to be…
By way of example, coding has been defined as the language of the future, and has the ability to shape technology we use throughout our day-to-day lives. From the software on your computer, to the apps installed on your smartphone, these platforms are all made and created with code. Generally speaking, people who know the ins and out of coding have some of the most in-demand jobs in the world-and kids are never too young to start learning the language since studies show that at least 50% of careers require technical skills.…
Jane McGonigal’s “Be a Gamer, Save the World,” was first published in the Wall Street Journal in the beginning of 2011. McGonigal’s article is set out to convince her audience that video games inspire people to do great things in the real world. “Players of ‘Guitar Hero’ are more likely to… learn how to play [the guitar]”. Her use of facts, personal studies, and real world examples construct a persuasive argument that games make the best of people. McGonigal begins her article comparing the world’s view of video games as escapist and games’ true capabilities.…
Was there anything in either the University of Phoenix Student Code of Conduct or the Student Code of Academic Integrity that surprised you? If so, what was it? Why were you surprised? If not, why not?…
Everyone around me had trouble understanding what could possibly draw me to such a difficult language. But the truth is that I wasn’t even sure what made coding so fascinating to me. The only thing I knew was that I was captivated by its intricacy and the ability to express my thoughts in neat lines of brackets and semicolons. There was no stopping once I started tapping away at the keyboard. Even though using computers was banned in our school dormitory, I always found a way to sneak in my laptop and trade off sleep for more perfect, beautiful code. I was a computer freak.…
Ever since I was a child I have been interested in video games. I don’t know why or how I started to like it. I suspect it was probably because of my friends, they always played them. However, once I found them, I never let go. Gaming for me, puts me in a whole new universe, a place where I would be able to do anything I pleased without any major consequences. It’s an escape from reality.…
Video Game Creating, a technical job that specializes in creating video games, is a career I wish to pursue for animating, illustrating, and gaming. I have wanted to be in this career since I was around 9 or 10 years old. What interested me was when I was used to playing games with a set-map. A set-map is a map where the character can only go two ways, forward or backwards. I played a free-map game, a game where the player chooses the quest and/or path/place they want to go, and I was curious as to how the map was created. Upon wanting to figure that out, I realized that it will be hard to find a job in this field because more people are interested and that means less jobs. I want the job/ a job because I love video games and I want to create some for others to enjoy.…
When Moshe Y. Vardi, Editor-in-Chief of Communications, invited us to submit an article, he recalled how he first learned about Scratch: “A colleague of mine (CS faculty),” he said, “told me how she tried to get her 10-year-old daughter interested in programming, and the only thing that appealed to her was Scratch.” That’s what we were hoping for when we set out to develop Scratch six years ago. We wanted to develop an approach to programming that would appeal to people who hadn’t previously imagined themselves as programmers.…
In an article, Lynda Cohen states “By 2020, there will be more than a quarter-million jobs in the (coding) field” (Cohen). This quotation proves that coding jobs are becoming more important. It is necessary to learn about them to prepare for the future. Learning about coding is essential because coding is becoming more available, relevant with all people, and prominent in daily life, so people need to know what options there are for careers.…
Growing up, my conservative parents would often (with good intentions) limit my freedom. Perhaps that is where my infatuation with coding stems from. Coding gave me an outlet to rebel against those restrictions, my imagination the only barrier to what was possible. The thrill of coding captivated me. When I coded, I was a painter. The cursor was my brush, the keys my strokes, the sea of structured words my painting. This passion soon bled into my academic life and resulted in my taking the most advanced Computer Science courses that my school had to offer. My hunger not sated, I took college level courses on edX and Coursera, frequented GitHub and tackled complex problem sets. Nowadays, rarely does a day pass without me typing a line of code.…

So what will you learn by reading through this guide? Well, the most important thing you can learn is that Programming is Fun! It’s a great feeling of satisfaction when you finish a program and it does what you want – whether your program is a computer game that you’ve invented, or it controls a robotic device, or serves any other purpose that you can imagine. There may be obstacles along the way – like any challenge, programming can present difficulties – but when you see your finished program working, you can take pride in the fact that you overcame the problems, and converted your…
Ever since I was young I loved to play video games. Playing video games increased my interest in video game design. I already know having an interest in video games and knowledge about computers helps while becoming a video game designer. I hope to gain knowledge about their role in creating a video game, what they do daily, and their income.…
