Learn to code a Virtual World
Debugging Techniques
1. Test your program often - don't wait until you have 40 lines of code.
2. Add a say command to find out if your code reach that point in the code - this provides visible evidence that the code has run up to that point.
3. Disable one line of code at a time until the problem stops.
4. Re-enable one line of code until the program crashes or stops - now you know which line of code was causing the problem.Complete Section 2-3 Procedures and Aurguments Practice Activities.

Save optional activity 1 as S2-4 Horse Last Name, activity 2 as S2-4 Penquin Flap Last Name, activity 3 as S2-4 Spinner Last Name. Demonstrate these programs for teacher check. Be sure you have comments in your code.
Complete Section 2-4 Rotation and Randomization project and save the project as Fish_4 Project Last Name. Demonstrate the working project to your instructor for teacher check.Once you have completed these sections begin working on your own animation - the one you story boarded. If you have time begin creating the scene for your animation.
