I have thought of a new project to start after i finish the house, which im almost done with because i just need to add some color and edit some walls. Furthermore i have thought about my new final project and it will be to make a soccer stadium, but not too detailed basically without seats just the building its self because it has an interesting shape.

Today i almost finished my house here is snap shots of it:

Today i finished youtube tutorials, and i started building a model, i took a modern house from google images http://www.cmbuilders.com.ph/articles//public_html/images/modern/01.jpg, i am trying to copy it, and it is turning up very well, however i think that i am making it a bit to big, so over the long weekend coming up im going to try reducing the size of the house, to make it more realistic, because it looks too big. I changed from Alice to Google Sketch up and i am liking it much better, i think i did the right choice switching to sketchup.

Today i experimented all class, i found different things that i hadn't learned from tutorials. I found out how to make the object move using the key board. Next class i will finish chapter 2 and start chapter 3, i am not really enjoying Alice anymore because its pretty easy and there's not much to do.

Test blog

Today i worked on chapter 2, i got stuck a couple of times but i ended up finding my way through. I stopped working on it for a while because i want to experiment with what i've learned. It is getting much more challenging, i get stuck every 3 steps because i always misread a step and i make a mistake which messes everything else up. And its very annoying because i don't realize i messed up until i got through a lot of steps and i have to redo them all. Next class i will finish chapter 2, however this time i will go through every step slower and i will read them all two times to make sure i haven't made a mistake.

Today i worked alot on Alice, i finished chapter 1 at home and i really enjoyed it, it was quite easy, but now im working on chapter 2 and its getting a but harder but still not challenging. I hope its going to get hard enough for it to be challenging. Otherwise i will move to work with Greenfoot. I am going to finish chapter 2 at home so i can finish the tutorials as quick as possible to be able to make my own world.
