And we are back. I hope that your break brought you what you needed.

Playing your Adventure Games was a real treat. Next class, we will play them together. SO, follow this link to add your game to our game list.

Each year, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) kicks off January.  It is a massive exhibition of all kinds of tech, products, cars, etc.  Last year  142,465 people attended.

You get to dig into the cool, weird and (maybe) useless products on display this year. Click here to get started.

Welcome to your final!

Important info:
1. restart your computer before you begin work. We have had some people lose their program when the computer froze.
2. if you are done with your final program, you may quietly work on other classwork or watch videos with headphones.  No games because some players are too rowdy.  The rest of the class deserves peace.

The full description for the final is right here.

The sample inventory code is right here.

The requirements for Solo and Partner programmers are right here.
