Feburary+2010

~ sneak peak at Dominoes for Greg, coming along nicely ~ updated March Calendars, selected OAME sessions ~ chatted with Heather about some student feedback phrasing. ~wrote a setTitleOffset method for the ubThermometer class so that you do not need to know the title of your thermometer in order to offset the title. Left the revised setTitle method from yesterday so that you can change both the title and the offset in one fell swoop. ~ reviewed "What's My Floor" for Greg, only one tiny toe out of place. ~ Range 'n Temperatures: got the titles to offset so they do not overlap on the number line in scene 4 ~ wrote an "Updating Classes" step by step guide for the wiki ~ fixed up the final issues for 5.1.1 Mathotel, updated it to the new activity template (which fixed the numPad issues, thanks Greg), Judi gave it the gold medal, that's two for today! ~worked on Range 'n Temperatures - changed the positioning of the thermometers in scene 4. need to reset the position of the labels after the thermometers have been dragged to the number line so they do not overlap ~ So, I tried my hand at modifying my first CLASS - ubThermometer!!!! I got the offset working fine, but I forgot to deal with the situation where the programmer only wants to change the offset and not the actual title, so.... I had a bit of a premature victory dance...will tackle really fixing it first thing tomorrow. ~learned how to update the Zen docs Feb 22 ~ Review Day** - subsequent review for 1.4 and 1.2, sent back to Crystal and Judi for some additional touches. - they are both getting quite close to being done. -added “startNewNarrationSound” code inappropriate places - fixed Pause/Play issues in scene 5 - copied in Judi's elevator panel with working "noise" buttons - found and fixed an error when dragging icons in scene 3, forgot to disable both draggable objects -tidied up code and comments.

- finished transition between scene 3 and 4. Judi showed me how to use the Bitmap Tracing feature to edit out some bushes. WOW! super easy! - fixed up the rest of scene 4 - refined the waitime codem working more smoothly, added pinCorrect, pause play - talked to Judi about the fireworks logic, got it working. -changed the registration point of all images in scene 3 to be the center so they drag nicely now. I didn't know (or possibly forgot) how to do this, thanks JH
 * FEb 18 ~ Mathotel**

-easy fixes to some pause/play issues - both the text and the icon are now fully draggable for scene 3 - working on the transition between scene 3 and 4 that she suggested.
