CompSci 4 - Classwork - Oct 12, 2006
10 pts

Today's classwork goes along with Chapter 5, Section 1. You will be writing event handlers.

The following work needs to be checked off when you have completed it.

  1. Create a new space world with a spider robot (from scifi folder) and two two-button switches (from the controls folder).

  2. Place the two-button switches one on top of the other and change the look of them so that all the buttons are unique. For example, you might want to change a red button to a blue button (in color and in name also).

  3. One button (when clicked with the mouse) should make the robot walk forward, and one button should make the robot walk backward. A few legs should move.

  4. Create two other things the robot can do by writing two methods and link them to the other two buttons.

  5. Create another event for when the user presses the "I" button, then instructions appear (3-D text) for a few seconds that tell the user to which buttons make the robot move and how, such as "Click on: red - walks forward, blue - walks backward," etc .. forward, etc."

If you finish early, feel free to embelish your animations.
