This is the lines of code that allow for the user to enter in a currency and choose what it should be converted into the code will take £ and then the user can choose from 5 different currencies to which the currency can be converted. The commented out code is my prior code which will run the same as the code bellow but the code bellow is more tidy and easier to read as i am using case statements. As you can see the code contains the currency for that country for example USD is 1.75 and is * by the GBP this will mean it is converted when the input is received.

Email checker and currency convert

Image
this code is used to check if the user has entered a valid email this is done by the if statement detecting @ and having a certain length to verify if it is a correct email. The ValidBT_Click is the name of the button so the code will relate to the button. The use of FoundAT works as the detection and reaction if @ is not detected within the code. (messagebox.show("email valid");} is used to present the sentence Email Valid  as message box is basically a text box. This is the currency converter the // means it is a comment as this is two sets of code the top one is a more messy and long winded way of making a converter however the one bellow uses switch case to shorten the needed code and still functions the same as if it was to use the top code. The use of GBP is a variable that is used throughout as the main currency to be converted to what ever the currency is set to so in this case it can be YEN/USD/CAD/EUR.

this is my code for a text base adventure game however it is still very work in progress as some option are not fully written out but the program at least runs and allows you to choose the options available. i also got a functioning random number generator to mimic the rolling of a dice.

Week 6

Week 6 My interview for Wilkinson is on the 8th November hopefully i get the job if not i will need to go and look for another job. I have also looked into what qualifications i would need to get into university if i decided to go. hopefully this job will help me to become more independent and allow me to grow my confidence. I will still look for other jobs as there is a chance i will not get the job and its good to have a backup plan.

WEEK 10

I am excited for my first day of work on Thursday i have yet to receive my uniform however on the plus side i have a Wilkinson discount card. I also stayed behind last week to get some work finished as i needed to catch up so now most of my work is finished with some still needing a little bit of polishing up. As well as looking at some more animations and how to use different styles like stop motion and 3D however im still debating on if i would like to do 3D.

WEEK 9

I have my first day of work next week on Thursday where i will be shown the ropes of the job and be told hopefully what shifts i will be on. Since i now have a job i am hoping that it will bring me out of my shell more and help me build confidence so i can become more social around people as working on dispatch means i will be talking a lot and taking commands on where to move the cargo too. I looked into some more animations by looking on youtube and i found some what art style i like and im hoping to try and mimic this.

WEEK 8

i did my induction for both days and i found out what days i will be working and what i will be working on so i will be on dispatch what will involve me moving cargo from trucks or to trucks when they arrive. I also looked into other game making software for example game maker studio and rpg maker to see if i cant make a working game. However i found rpg maker to be quite a disappointment as it involves hardly any coding as the code comes pre-built in to the entity that you place. So overall i believe that unity is better in many aspects.
