Getting Something
2/4/2023
This week I really started to work on getting some sort of program running. I have a prototype project that I have been working on through Visual Studios using C# and Windows Forms. So far, I have two key components: dragging a ‘block’ into a text box and moving a ‘robot’ through a grid of images. Here is a video of moving the star through the grid and dragging a ‘block’ into a text box and then pressing a button to do that action:
Everything is very disjointed at the moment but I want to get functions working separately to know that I can actually do them before I start combing them. For example, I wanted to make sure I could shift an image through a grid and drag a block into a text box before trying to figure out how to drag a block into a text box and then press a button to shift an image through a grid based on the text. My next step is to try and scale these actions up and combine them. I think having more than one line of text in the text box is going to be my next big issue to tackle as scaling up the image shifting shouldn’t be too hard. I’m trying to take it all one step at a time to build up to something that can come together.
As I continue working I am also thinking of what to name my little robot and how to theme the project. For now, that is all secondary to getting the program to function properly but it is still in the back of my mind.
