More programming!

We started the day off with a couple games of countdown. I am not too good with maths so I did not get far in the 30 seconds we had. I did about one calculation and the time was up so I didn't win. Soon after that we started a little programming quiz. It contained 14 questions about what we learnt and I got 11/14. I am happy with my score and it shows I need to re look at validation and verification because I got both of those questions wrong.

Then we carried on with the programming. My main goal for this was to finish this off however I just fell short of that goal. I am currently working on the prices what is quite confusing however the main thing is that it works. I have tested my program and so far I have found only a few errors what I have fixed. When I finish it tomorrow I will test it in more detail and hopefully will eliminate all the bugs in the code.

John showed us a video about a new game coming to PS4 and Xbox One next year. The game is called No Man's Sky. It is a space type game and there is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 planets and they are generated by code. As I remember if you stay on each planet for one second each, it would take about 86 billion years.

Overall I am happy with my progress today and I should be able to finish all the work off tomorrow and send in the unit on time. I have enjoyed creating the program and I will carry on programming on Small Basic.
