This term, I have achived a lot. In robotics. Mostly. I have made many high-ish quality computer programs that have impressed even my self. I started about 5, but only finished 3 of them so . Still, it's worth a look.
1. Prime number finder
I made this in scratch. It is simple on the outside, but uncomfrtably complicated, even for myself. You simply enter 2 positive integers, one big, one small, e.g 5 and 10. It will then proceed to find all prime numbers between the two said numbers, using an anylisis algoritom that used to involve lists, but now doesn't because that was too much, even for me.

2. Micro:bit robot
I made 3 versions of this:
The line following one. It could follow a line on a large sheet of paper. Awesome.
The sentient one. It won't become evil and take over the world just yet. All it can do is avoid walls.
The remote controlled one. This one won me a chocolate bar and my class a shared lunch, as I entered it into a robotics race and won! Fantastic.
3. Tiddlescoin
I'm quite proud of this one, as it is the most advanced. It is a cryptocurrency app, that allows users to convert their money into an online currency, send it around, and cash it back in for money. It's also good in the way that it's being used for my entrepenur project in Social studies, as I can make money from it if I get enough users.
Hi Finn
ReplyDeleteI'm the Manaiakalani Secondary Specialist and I'm always on the lookout for a great blog post.
What a fabulous project! Your Scratch programme for finding prime numbers seems to work a treat. Can you tell me more about an analysis algorithm, and why you would choose that algorithm over something else like a sorting algorithm.
Why don't you embed the program here into your blog? Click the share link button on your Scratch program and it will give you the embed code. You can add it to the html editor in your blog post.
Where can we see your Microbit and Tiddlescoin projects?
The Tiddlescoin program sounds very tricky, which program did you use to write that one?
Awesome learning Finn, keep it up 👍
Awesome work Finn! You have been very creative in a variety of projects. A lot of problem solving involved too. I am looking forward to your website and seeing more about your work, including Finstagram!
