Journal entry: 4-19-2006

I have been doing the exercises in the book and just can't resist changing them, modifying them and just generally having fun with the learning process... Here is a new program I made from the exercise in the book on page 179... with a little twist I added some sounds to the program to tell the difference between what mode it is in...  The file name I created is roaming_with_whiskers_R2D2.bs2

 

You can download the program source by right clicking the link and choosing 'save target as' --- >>  roaming_with_whiskers_R2D2.bs2  <<< ---

It will be a text file, that you can rename as a .bs2 file that the Basic Stamp Editor will load.

 

Roaming_with_whiskers_R2D2.bs2
