20th June

Today i finished my final program i now plan to do a testing plan for the final due date on the 22nd of june

17 June

Program is working fine, i fixed the "How many games do you want to play" to make sure it only accepts an int between 1-9 and i added the "you have (x) strikes" (x being the amount of strikes) and also the "Letters that have already been guessed are (y). (y being the guesses the user has guessed.

17 June

Today i addressed my incorrect length of words problem. This was due to a silly mistake in writing the code as i had typed the same thing twice "  word = random.choice(wordBank)" and i had my modules in the wrong order, When i ran the program it selected another word. Then when the program went to find a new word it found another random one, thus printing the incorrect letters. I now plan to add the progress report after every guess

16 June

 I finally got it working, and to think it was because of one word "set" really bugs me. But oh well. Great to get it going so i can finally move on with my program. 

I now plan to add a "you have (x) amount of strikes, the letters you have already guessed are [x,y,z]" after every time the user guesses. I am also having a little problem with the start of the program when the user first guesses it shows the incorrect length of the word but this seems to work once the first guess is over. This isnt visible on the first example but here it is here:



I hope to overcome this problem soon so that i can get my program done on the due date.

16 June

Was absent from school today, but i plan to address my double letter problem with my program. I think i will do this by using for letter in set (x): instead of for letter in x: Will keep this blog updated throughout the weekend as the assessment is due next week.

12 June

Today i have fixed my problems from version 2 of the program. the program does not yet recognize double letters this is something i plan to fix in version 3 of the program. I also plan to add a module called progress that will tell the user the guesses they have guessed and how many more they have to complete to win. It will also notify how many strikes you have. I plan to tell the user how many letters the word has at the beginning of the game too.

11 June

Today I fixed my “How many games do you want to play” Function in my algorithm. I made It work by adding it to the main() function, a silly mistake that I fixed very easily.

1st - June - END

Today i looked at a number of games you want to play function adding to my version 2 of my program. 

This didn't really work and this is something i will address next lesson with a clear head.

1st June - Start

Today i plan to add a "How many games do you want to play" to the start of my program. this will be included in version 2.

25/May - End

Today i put my first version of my program into python. It had many bugs.

This was my first run after writing it out. After this i went back to my code and found that i had repeated one of my statements, on accident. I then removed the mistake and ran the program again.

This time i found a typo in my code. I now realize i am going to have a lot of these that i will have to proofread my code a lot.

Something good did come out of this test as i did get a chance to test my unexpected boundary cases, which seem to be in working order. Hooray!

I found what was causing the error and all it was, was a simple (x).

I then fixed this and tested my program again. The program seems to run! It has working inputs and tells the user if the guess is in the word or not but does not end once finishing the word. The program will need a lot of work still to be done on it but this is a great step for my assessment as i now know that my program kind of works.

==================================EDIT==================================

I tested my program with the word "hi" and found out that my program does end, it just doesn't recognize double letters in a word. I knew this was going to be a problem but I will find a way around this. The program also tells the user when they loose, which is great because it means it is working properly. If the user gets 12 guesses wrong it tells the user they loose and what the word was.

25/May - Start

This lesson i plan to put my algorithm v2 into python for a test. I realize it will have many bugs i will have to fix.

22/May - END

Today i decided to put all of my processes into separate modules so they can be called when needed. I found out how i can use an array and how to remove letters out of it. Next time i plan to produce version 2 of my pseudo code with modules and arrays.

22/May - Start

Today i found out that when my pseudo code tells the user to guess again nothing happens. It will print the instruction but nothing will happen afterwards. To fix this i will create a working function for my pseudo code to make sure that the user can guess again when they input an invalid guess. I plan to do this by putting my main working into a module to make sure that it can be called when needed.

14/May - End

Today i created my algorithm log, I finished specifying my variables and started to list my inputs and outputs.
I also decided to have a play again function in my algorithm. I will do this by putting my main process into a module and when the “play again” module is called it will ask the user if they want to play again, (y, n). If the user answers yes, the program will run the “Main” module. If no, the program will use the function inside python called “exit()” which will terminate the program. This will be included in version 2 of the algorithm which i plan to make soon.

14/May - Start

Today i plan to create an algorithm log so i can log my changes to my algorithm in one text document, but of course all my logs will be on my blog too, to prove that i did these changes when i said i did.

11 May - Home

I just finished reviewing my Managing achievement standard to make sure I had finished everything that it said on the marking schedule

11 May - End

Today i converted my flowchart into detailed pseudo code and listed my variables their scopes and data types.

11 May - Start

Today i plan to convert my flowchart into pseudo code and add modules where needed to enhance efficiency

8th/May - End

Today we had a look at the marking schedule for all assessments and figured what i had to do to get excellence. I also made my flow chart more suitable and easier to read. I also created some new ideas to make my program more efficient and added them into my flow chart.

8th/May - Start

Today I plan to create a more indepth flow chart/algorithm and annotate all my modules ect.

4th/May - End

Today i played around with python testing if things in my algorithm would work and they did, Next lesson i plan to go back to my algorithm and edit/add annotations to make it more clear and define modules. 

3rd May - End

Today i think i finished my algorithm in flowchart form. Although i think i may have to come back and make some changes to this next lesson as it needs to be more detailed. (Annotated)

3rd May - Start

Today i am going to create a flowchart of my algorithm

1st/May - End

Today i finished my A.S 91355 management and researched some ways and words to use in a hangman game

1st/May - Start

Today i'm going to research how I may create my hangman game.

30th/April - End

Today i finished my Gantt Chart and listed my critical review points and my resources needed throughout the project.

30th/April-Start

Today I plan to finish my Gantt Project and plan all of my actions

27/April - End

These is my list of planning tools

These is my Chosen planning tools and the software I will use.

I now plan to start creating my Gantt Chart with goals and review points


:Edit: 1:29 PM:

Started to create my Gantt project with all my goals

27/April-Start

Today I am going to list, explain and choose what planning tools I am going to use to aid me in my assessment.

26/April-End

Today I created my blog, and started to list my planning tools.
