Lab #17 Rock Paper Scissors

-
Lab #17 was titled "Rock Paper Scissors". As the title implies, this webpage will not be for only display but you can play rock paper scissors with a CPU opponent (computer). This lab had no instructions on how to actually complete this task, so I put it into my own hands to make an interactive JavaScript rock paper scissors game that allows you to pick one of the three and get a result based on what the computer threw.


In order to complete this lab, I had used a lot of JavaScript and little to no CSS. In my HTML, I had created three buttons that would allow for the user to select either rock, paper or scissors. Upon clicking the button, the javascript to run a long function executes. This function consists of using a random number generator to roll for the cpu while also producing the results and displays what you and the cpu threw. This function also compares both your throw and the cpu's throw to see who won and then displays it in the middle.

A web designer would want to know how to do this so they can make web-based games as simple as rock paper scissors. Making use of the random number generator allowed me to create a cpu that can choose their own move that's completely random. Yeah, that means there is no cheating in the system, it is all luck and RNG. Applying this mechanic to other games to verse a computer opponent would allow for much more creativity like chess, checkers, other board games, etc. There is much to be done with JavaScript, as this is only a simple rock paper scissors game. In the hands of a web designer, there can be more web-based games out there to play.

WBL Workshop #6 Interview Skills

-
          WBL Workshop #6 was about testing our interviewing skills. First thing that happened was us entering the room without knowing that we were going to be interviewed. So as a student you could say some of us were surprised about it. There were different people interviewing students that took place during this workshop. Students were set at different "stations" of people who would interview you. I was a little confused at first about what the interview would be about and what job we were actually being interviewed for to represent a mock interview. Then I realized that a perfect job for the situation would be something revolving around being a web designer. When it was my turn to be interviewed I wasn't nervous because I had some pre-answers in my head for obvious answers.               During the interview I kept looking toward the top right, for no apparent reason. I feel like I should have been looking at the employe...

CTE Expo Reflection Journal

     The objective of the CTE EXPO was to engage the freshmen into seeing what the Web Design Academy was made of and what were the benefits of joining. It was also to make their interests peak as they could be exposed to these special skills.  To prepare for the CTE EXPO I just ran through looking for my best business attire I possibly had because I knew how important this event was, During the actual event I grabbed freshmen attention by saying, "hello are you interested in learning more about the visual design part of the CTE academy?" I used that line pretty much all the time to get the attention of the freshmen who looked lost or confused. I think what went well was that most of the freshmen, all the ones I met with, had an interest in the subject because of the amount of questions they asked and how detailed their questions were. For next year's CTE EXPO it would be best to realign the table structure because the poster boards of the visual design class were in...

Lab #12 Reflection

-
This lab was fun to learn but a little difficult at first. If you were learning adobe illustrator for the first time and had to do something with it, you would have a lot of trouble if you weren't reading the tutorials or listening to them. At first for me personally it was a little hard trying to figure out what to do. I go to the lab pretty much every day on my free period. Lunch personally is boring for me. Let's get back on topic. I took my time to read the tutorial for adobe illustrator again and absorb what I read. I did the extra reading to scan what I needed to complete the lab and what skills were needed to complete it. Though I wish I can post my work here, I really can't due to the fact it is saved in a pdf file. At first the file was in an .ai file but since I had to submit it in for a grade it was transferred into a pdf file for viewing purposes. It was something we learned from reviewing adobe illustrator. Adobe illustrator wasn't that hard to learn. The b...
