Today I did some stuff. Namely lots of stuff.
-read notes on stack and queue. Queue is a weird word.
-Finished like 5 programming contest problems with perl and cygwin so I am getting into the linuxes again

Today I downloaded the GIMP so that I could start making more rooms for my Silent Hill Adventure and started looking over the code again. I don't know if I am going to just start over from scratch or build on one of my old ones.
But then I was showing Wes my tic tac toe and realized that I never made it do anything for if it's a tie and then I realized that there was a bunch of other stuff that I could do to make my tic tac toe a lot better so I did all of those this period.
Now it:
- Says if it's a tie (which was harder than you would think)
- Automatically has the loser go the next round, or if it's a tie lets them choose again
- Has a statistics method with a bunch of information about how many games you have played, etc.

I worked pretty hard so yayayayayay

Today I watched on as Tom cried out in misery as windows 7 killed his computer and laughed. Then I finally figured out why my tic tac toe program was being dumb so i fixed it and now it is perfect and you can play it and see. Next i will start working on my own personal project unless we are doing something else next class.

Today I pretty much finished Tic Tac Toe, all the methods are done and it was almost working, i just have a couple bugs that i need to straighten out and then it will be done.

STuff

Wednesday night I had nothing to do for like 2 hours in my hotel room so I worked on tic tac toe and realized the reason why I was having such a hard time is because i forgot to add the mouse listener. I thought i was having a bunch of problems with the applet refreshing or the mouseclick method going crazy or something but it turns out I just forgot to add addMouseListener(this);

so now pretty much everything is done all I have to do is get it to add the values to the 2d array when they click on the spaces because i already have all the cases written out for winning and what it will do when they win.

Today I worked hard on tic tac toe the whole day and tom showed me a new plug-in for eclipse that makes it use vim commands except it compiles in real time so that is pretty much exactly what i was looking for.

But I have spent like 3 days now on this dumb idea that i had that i thought would be easy to code but it turns out that tom told me i need to learn threading so I guess I will work on learning that next class or at home or something. I don't just want to give up on the idea and do the easier way because I want to challenge myself and learn new things instead of doing the easier way just because I don't know how to do the way I wanted yet.

Today I tried a version of Ubuntu installed that would actually run on this laptop but it didn't work so I will probably just do that at home because I actually want linux to run on this dumb thing. Also I worked on tic tac toe and figured out how to change fonts in java

Today I worked on Tic Tac Toe but I didn't get very far because
a) I had to go to the counselor
b) I spent a bunch of time writing code before I realized that I didn't need any of that code anyway
yay
