Week something
PHP has been going well. Its been fun to play around with all the graphical stuff we can. All the different colors and shapes really catching my interest. The best part is that we can make our pictures we make dynamic with the html get variables. I have some ideas for something I want to work on. Once I finish making a star that does not look like something made by a one year old I want to write code that will make a original 13 colony USA flag. The hardest part I feel will be the circle of stars in the top left corner. I do not want to code each star individually but make loop that will make each one. I am thinking one each point in the stars will be its own circle. So the top points will all be in a circle and so on and so on. I am not too sure how to make this. Another idea for the ring of stars would be writing a function that takes on point and makes and calculates all other points for the star. This seems like the easier approach since I would only need to code one circle to find the 13 points, one for each star. Once that is finished I would like to upgrade it to make use of the html get.

Still have no idea which week this is of class but it is feb 29 right now so there is that. PHP is going well for me. Some of the stuff we type in our programs in class confuse me but I understand the logic and most of the syntax of most of them. The form we made was pretty fun and it kinda gives me an idea for a web based chess game using a image that gets updated based on a piece movement form a user input. I think I would have some problems with making a turn system so white or black does not move twice in a row. The flag is going well. I have all the stripes and the spot for the stars made. I ended up so far with two loops. One for the red stripes and one for the white stripes. I could have of made a color array then do one loop and make the color switch each time but I had already made the two loops and they worked. It would not have save me very many lines so I did not worry about it. I have all the spacing out for the stars. I just have to scale my star down and then write a function that will make a star from one point and call it each time through the loop but I am going to need to set a condition because the stars are off set on each line so they do not touch. So I might use two loops again. Once I get the star scaled to the right size and write the function to make them I will be able to decide.

still no idea about the week. The math for scaling the stars for my flag is still throwing me off. The bottom parts look really funking even though they have the same points in relation to the center. Maybe its just me. I dont know. My doctor draw thing is works for all but filled circle which I do not know why. It worked last week but not now. We had a nice talk about computers friday. It was nice to get some insight on this stuff. We talked about some exploits that are known in hardware like the row hammer in ddr 3 RAM. I heard about it but never saw to much about it. It was a good day over all.
Week something +3
I think it's the eight of classes? Still lost on that end. I have not really worked on my flag anymore. I have not really had the time to sit down and work through it. The data base stuff we did was really cool. I have not really worked with data bases in that sense. The most I have done is just searched a library database for a book. They seem really cool but I have no idea they are made and they seem really hard to do. The modifying part was my favorite. It was fun to mess around with the mysql stuff. On friday we looked at the other image stuff for php. I Think it was called image magick not really sure. It seems to be really fun and I would love to play with it more. Maybe when I get my flag done I can run the image through some of those functions it. The mudkip turned out great so what could go wrong with it
