It's been a bit over a week since I started my "Introduction To JavaScript" course on Codecademy, and as of today, I'm 50% done. I'm a lot faster than I had anticipated, but I think that's partially this way because SML taught me certain basics that apply to JS too. Yay! Those weeks crying over math were not wasted!
Anyway, what did it teach me after my last post about it?
I wrote a short rock/scissors/paper game (yes, it is important to insult the user if you want to test if your code works):
With ... cheats:
I also figured out why my plants always die, seems like it is never Wednesday when I check ...
I don't understand why people keep asking me how to best take care of their plants, just because I am a biologist. All my plants have died. All of them. A slow, cruel, death.
I also learned about arrays, in the form of a list of chores. I might have gotten something mixed up here tho.
Arrays are also great to imitate "Dory" from "Finding Nemo". Remember her? She knows how to speak with whales. Well, with my code, you can too! Just 20 Steem!
There were more exercises, of course. The lessons are quite extensive, and I like how gamified the whole thing is, albeit a little bit expensive.
My most recent "mini-project" was a program that's supposed to replace @rhondak as an editor :P
That's the output:
However, coding it didn't go as smoothly as expected, because the instructions Codecademy gave me where, honestly, overly complicated. So I did it my way. Fuck the police.
Just for shits and giggles, I added some more info to the output text. Here's the whole code:
And because I'm Marcell D'Avis* Suesa and because having a 16h/week lab job, being COO at Utopian, overseeing the steemSTEM honor members, moderating steem.chat #general, writing occasional Steem posts, going to the gym 5 times a week, and learning JavaScript does not use me to full capacity, I have also started learning Irish.
Suesa out.
