My Goals in C++

GOALS

• My goals are to learn how to program in C++ or Interactive C.

• In detail; to learn an a language to move objects on the screen or move physical objects, such as a Roomba. I think doing something with a Roomba would be good because it has touch sensors that we might be able to program to do other things upon being touched.

• I would think of Thanksgiving as a checkpoint to see how work is going. I think Christmas would be a good deadline because it isn't that far away, but there is certainly enough time to get sufficient work done. And end of term would obviously be the final deadline to turn in/show all work.
  

• I have my computer to work with, all of the books my teacher has on different programming languages. There are a lot of books in the classroom with knowledge that I could use to my advantage. They seem like they are for beginners like me, so that is ideal.
  

• I will require a teacher to help me if I can't understand something, and a computer is obviously of great use. I'm sure there are a vast amount of sites that have tutorials on how to use C++ and interactive C. Again, the programming books will help.
  

• My progress can be shown at any time in the classroom. If one asks me to see what I have, I can show easily what I have been working on.
  

• I will know if my goals have been reached if I have a working program that does exactly what I want it to do. It would have minimal problems, it might have complex code in it, and hopefully have good feedback from peers, classmates, etc.

• My projects will be shown through a projector in our classroom or through the computer I'm working on if possible. Or if it is a physical object, like a Roomba, it will be shown in the "robot arena" in our classroom.
