5/28 Only 2 class periods left!

1.  Blog post:

• List at least 3 skills that you have learned during the course of this project
• examples:  I have learned how to solder, I have learned how to insert an image into Processing, etc.
• 
  

We have only 2 class periods left until the STEAM EXPO!

Find a way to stay on task, stay focused and make yourself useful.  Here are some of the loose ends that need to be tied up:

• Some of the wires on the Arduino got unplugged, so the game won't work properly until that is addressed
• Display the speed on the game screen
• Change the frame rate based on a player's speed
• Insert Bella's end game design into the processing sketch
• Display Bella's end game design after a mile is completed
• end game statistics?
• Prepare the room for display
• Advertisements? Flyers? Posters?

• Finish Heavy Pedal website

There should be plenty of jobs to go around.  If you find yourself with nothing to work on, then you may practice coding on Code Combat.
