My 3 Best Android Apps

Angry Birds

One of the best game I have played so far is angry birds. What I like about this game is its game concept. I like the idea of using the slingshot to throw the birds for them to be able to hit the pigs. I also like the story within the game such that they are trying to retrieve the eggs stolen by the pigs. I really love the interface such that each moves of different types of birds has a corresponding effect. I am amazed how physics and mathematical calculations of the projectile motion has been applied within the game. I am also amazed that different variables such as the strength exerted when pullling the sling shot would easily change the flow or outcome of the game. By having inconsistent outcome per game play, the game is never dull and is very addictive and fun.

Cut the Rope

The first time I saw cut the rope; I immediately liked its cute interface. I really liked the cute green creature in the game. Once I tried the game, I was impressed on how the tutorial was very precise and easy to follow. Aside from it being very user-friendly, I found this game extremely entertaining. I also like the game concept of feeding this cute creature with a candy. I was amazed by how the different features were integrated within the game such as blowing the candy, teleporting the candy, floating the candy and so on. I like how the combinations of features make the game fun and entertaining through different stages.

Unblock Me

Simple but entertaining; this is how I would describe unblock me. This is a challenging puzzle game where in you have to move the blocks in order for the red block to be able to get out. The game has a simple interface but the stages of the game vary which makes it addictive to solve. I enjoy puzzle games. This is why I like this game.

My 3 Worst Android Apps

Negi Button

One of the worst app I have encounter is negi button. At first, you will think this app is cute because of its cute interface, but when it comes to its function you’ll find it very annoying. This app simply counts the number of press on the button below the number. For every press it just keeps on alternating the two scenes as seen below. It is a senseless and useless app for me.

Alchemy

Alchemy is a game app that I found to be boring. It is an app which will starts off with four basic elements such as fire, wind, water and earth. Combining two elements will show new elements and the game continues on by combining elements until you completed all 270 elements. I found this game as tiring when trying to combine elements since the user interface is not well thought out and unorganized. Once the elements in the game are dragged, the images of the elements overlap and combining elements sometimes does not function well. This is why I don’t like this app.

Blew Up a Bull

Another irritating app is blew up a bull. This is a game where in the goal is to hit other bulls through chain reaction of movements. Once the bull hits other bulls, an annoying sound would be heard; at the same time, the points would increase. Reaching a certain number points will let the player pass the level. On the next level, the game is still similar to the first level and so on without any variety.

Today, we our hands on exercise. My performance was bad and it is really depressing. I didn't think that it would be so hard that a question would take a lot of time to do. In the end, I had only answered one. And it was wrong. It was so sudden that a lot of hard question were given to us in a short amount of time. I do hope there would still be a chance to recover that 20% I've lost =( .

My first encounters with java

2009-07-03T04:46:00.000-07:00

Actually, the first time I met java was only this summer. It was because I saw the flyer that was distributed in our course's pre-confirmation orientation. It was a java short course program held in Lasalle. It was a 5hrs session that last for a week.

Without having any background in java, we were ask to figureout how to swap 3 variables. All of us took alot of time to figure it out. So here's the code that I was able to make.

public class Swapper
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
int nA=20;
int nB=30;
int nC=0;

System.out.println("Before swapping****");
System.out.println("nA="+nA);
System.out.println("nB="+nB);

/*write your code to swap the values of nA
and nB*/

nC=nA;
nA=nB;
nB=nC;

System.out.println("After swapping****");
System.out.println("nA="+nA);
System.out.println("nB="+nB);
}
}

I forgot the arragements of what we did frst, but here are the things we also did.

1)
public class VariableTester
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
int nA=20;
double dB=30.03;
String sC="Hello World";
char cD= 'a';

System.out.println( "the variable nA="+nA);
System.out.println( "the variable dB="+dB);
System.out.println( "the variable sC="+sC);
System.out.println( "the variable cD="+cD);
}
}

2)
public class Circle
{
public static void main( String[] args)
{
double dRad= 2.5;
double dPi= 3.1416;
double dCir= 2 * dPi * dRad;

System.out.println("The circumference of a circle given a radius of " + dRad +" is " + dCir);
}
}

3)

public class Matematiks
{
public static void main (String [] args)
{
int nA=5;
int nB=2;
int sumResult=nA+nB;
int difResult=nA-nB;
int prodResult=nA*nB;
int divResult=nA/nB;
int moddivResult=nA%nB;
nA++;
int incResult=nA++;
nB--;
int decResult=nB;

System.out.println("Sum of nA "+
"and nB=" + sumResult);
System.out.println("Difference of nA "+
"and nB=" + difResult);
System.out.println("Product of nA "+
"and nB=" + prodResult);
System.out.println("Division of nA "+
"and nB=" + divResult);
System.out.println("Modulardivision of nA "+
"and nB=" + moddivResult);
System.out.println("Increase of nA "+
"and nB=" + incResult);
System.out.println("Decrease of nA "+
"and nB=" + decResult);

}
}

4)
public class Convert
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{
int nMin=60;
int nHr=5 ;
int nResult= nHr * nMin;
System.out.println("Conversion of nHr "+
"and nMin =" + nResult+ "minutes");
}
}

5)
import java.util.Scanner;
public class GreetMe
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Scanner scanKeyBoard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter your nickname;");
String sUserInput = scanKeyBoard.next();
System.out.println("Hello " + sUserInput + " , Have a Good Day");
}
}

=) .... sharing lang po hehe! first time ko po magprogramming super daming lumabas na error minsan pa nga po 22 errors 0_0 .Kaya nga po nakatulong din sakin ung short corz nung summer.

Using replace ; replaceFirst ; replaceAll

2009-07-03T04:35:00.001-07:00

I would like to share the programs i did in the intprog on july,2,2009.
So here it is:

The Censor activity
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Aa
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
System.out.println("Enter your string");
Scanner a= new Scanner(System.in);
String z=a.nextLine();
String letter=z.replaceAll("ateneo", "****");
System.out.println(letter);
}
}
While I was in the lab, I also tried applying the replaceFirst method and because of that I learned how to use the backslash quotation mark from our prof, thanks sir! I didn't think that it was possible to write a quatation mark within a string.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ReplaceFirst
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
System.out.println("Type \"i love lasalle\"");
System.out.println("Enter your sentence");
Scanner a= new Scanner(System.in);
String z=a.nextLine();
String letter=z.replaceFirst("i","You");
System.out.println(letter);
}
}

After doing the replaceFirst, i decided to do the replace, but unfortunately i wasn't able to save it. So this is the code that i think i did, i don't know if it's correct because I still haven't downloaded the jcreator.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Replace
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
System.out.println("I'll change all \"i \" you enter into \" a\"");
System.out.println("Enter your sentence");
Scanner a= new Scanner(System.in);
String z=a.nextLine();
String letter=z.replace("i","a");
System.out.println(letter);
}
}

Aside using the replaceAll, we were asked to use the PolygonVisualizer. Unfortunately, i didn't get it. I starting to think that the lessons are getting harder for me. =<

intrprog blog june 30,2009

2009-06-30T03:21:00.000-07:00

Today we had a new lesson in intrprog. Its about using Math.sqrt and Math.pow. I also found out that the site java.sun.com is very useful because it has API that can help us alot in programming.
So far i could still catch up with the lessons. But i'm really wondering why my codes are very long while some have very short codes. Because of this i think that i really have to learn how to minimize my codes.

Here's the activities i made...

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Abc
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
System.out.println("Enter your name");
Scanner x= new Scanner(System.in);
String a=x.nextLine();

System.out.println("Enter 1st grade");
Scanner y= new Scanner(System.in);
double b=y.nextDouble();

System.out.println("Enter 2nd grade");
Scanner z= new Scanner(System.in);
double c=z.nextDouble();

System.out.println("Enter 3rd grade");
Scanner w= new Scanner(System.in);
double d=w.nextDouble();

double e = (b+c+d)/3.0;
System.out.println( a + ", your average score is:" + e);
}
}

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Abcde
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
System.out.println("Enter a");
Scanner x= new Scanner(System.in);
double y=x.nextDouble();
double a= Math.pow(y,2);

System.out.println("Enter b");
int z=x.nextInt();
double b= Math.pow(z,2);

double w= a+b;
double c= Math.sqrt(w);

System.out.println("Letter c is " + c );
}
}

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Abcd
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
System.out.println("Enter a");
Scanner x= new Scanner(System.in);
double y=x.nextDouble();
double a= Math.pow(y,2);

System.out.println("Enter b");
int z=x.nextInt();
double b= Math.pow(z,2);

double w= a+b;
double c= Math.sqrt(w);

System.out.println("Letter c is " + c );
}
}

The Hello World

2009-06-27T23:37:00.000-07:00

"hello world" was the first program that I did in intprog class.
its actually very simple

public class Hello
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{
System.out.println("Hello World");
}
}

After writing that in the notepad, you have to type Hello.java .<-- i often forget this
the outcome of the screen must have a "Hello World" written on it.

note:
" " - is for strings
' ' - for char
true or false- Boolean
System.out.println- will be shown on the next line
System.out.print- will be on the same line

I learned that this is very important.. knowing the use of modulo and division.
given: n=12345

n/10=1234
n/100=123
n/1000=12
n/10000=1

n%10=5
n%100=45
n%1000=345
n%10000=2345

Honestly, this was very confusing and i didn't think that it was possible for a program to find the middle number in a given.Although the solution was given by our prof Mr.Inventado, I tried doing it.
so here's what i did

public class Mid
{
public static void main(String [] Args)
{
int n=12345;
int mid;
mid= (n/100)%10;
System.out.println ( " With the given number:" + n);
System.out.println ( " the middle number is: " + mid);
}

}
i also learned that % and / can also be used in converting military time to standard time.
Here's the solution from our intrprog prof , Mr. Inventatdo.

public class Time
{
public static void main(String [] Args)
{
int giv=1545;
int hr= giv/100%12;
int min= giv%100;
String zero= min<10? "0": " " ; System.out.println ( hr + " : " + zero + min);
}

}

lessons from intrpog

2009-06-27T19:41:00.000-07:00

hi everyone, i created this blog so that i can share what i learned in our intrprog class.

Intrprg
Lesson
Lesson #1
Java
one thing that I can remember in java would be the acronyms WORA .
it means
W-write
O-once
R-run
A-anywhere
I was amaze that the java was named because of an Oak tree that stood outside their office.
Lesson #2
In learning java, there are three operations we must remember.
Arithmetic Operation
arithmetic is similar to math. It has addition , subtraction, division , multiplication and modulo division. See the next line.
+ , - , / , * , %
what differ is that in arithmetic operation and math, is that you have to use that given symbol in order for it to function. We can't use an "x" or a "point" for multiplication. It should be asterisk "*".
Relational Operations
Relational is comparing 2 numbers with the use of the operations. " > . < . == , != , ≥ ,≤"
and the outcome of that, true or false , is known as Boolean.
Logical Operations
Logical operations was similar to our lesson in physics and it was confusing.
but when our prof discussed it, i realized that it is only easy.
I learned 3 logical operations in out intprog,
|| -or
&&- and
!- not
|| - if one is true then all are true
&& - if one is false then all is false
! - the opposite
Lesson #3
How to make a flowchart.
I learned that in making a flowchart, each shaped has it own usage. A Terminal shape tells you where the flowchart begins and ends . A parallelogram is used to show input or output. The rectangle is used to show a process, task, or operation. A diamond shape is for the decision that commonly asks a question. And to complete the flowchart,we need lines with arrows to determine the flow through the chart

2 sites given by our prof that are useful in making flowcharts
