Making progress

A small group of students stayed back with me after the lab last night. It was really great fun! We extended the maze game to include the monsters and then went further to improve the monsters movement, and this morning one student talked to me about adding multiple monsters. This is a very funky little program now. I have added a screen shot below. Basically the player can move the "person" around in the maze while the monsters will move themselves. The code for this is available from the above links, there is a maze txt file at the end of the first iteration. The Pascal compiler is free and open source.

That is when the learning really begins.

Students and teacher working together to try out new things, to stretch themselves.

It is all fun and games until the end of the lab, after that its just fun.

This is cool. I am in the process of downloading compiler.

I wonder how long it will be before a cvs or svn repositry is born to hold all things fun.

This would be a cool thing just to update straight from code, rather than to and from a wiki.
