This week I was introduced to Java Script and spent the first couple days getting to grips with the language. I learnt how to create variables using “let” and “var” as well as learning basic rules of the language such as putting a semicolon at the end of every line. I looked up various free online courses on websites such as YouTube to help me understand and remember the basics of the language. I also played around with a basic painting project that featured various colours and brushes to choose from. In this project I created more colours and brushes , this mostly consisted of me copying and pasting code that was already created but I learnt a lot about JavaScript just from this experience. 

This week I also played around with the creation of flowcharts and the use of sequence , conditional and iteration events, at the start of the week I already knew what flow charts were but I had not looked too in depth, I browed various websites to get a better understanding of different events which are used in flow charts so I can use them in exercise 1 and 2. In exercise 1 I created 3 different small flow charts which demonstrated the use of sequence , conditional and iteration events. In exercise 2 I created a larger flow chart which used all 3 events from exercise 1 to show off the events from the game “Binding of Isaac” where the player enters the room and if the room has not been cleared the player will clear it and once it has been cleared the player chooses from a variety of rooms to enter.

My goals for next week are to understand more about JavaScript by creating more complex functions as well as understanding them better as opposed to just copying from various resources.
