Week 2

During this weeks lab hours, I was able to complete the home screen for my app. I used images found off of google image to substitute for images I will have to draw myself in the future. Since I am only making the app for myself right now, the copyrighted images will stay for the time being. I learned a lot about XML coding which is used by Android Studio. I had to translate the image for the button to get it at the right spot. Right now I am still in the process of making the button redirect to a new screen. I want to be able to learn more about the game aspect of programming. I am thinking I will need to start very simple with my game since I am a beginner. Maybe a card game or checkers to start with while I learn the basics.

Week One

My name is Monica Sanchez and I am a computer science major at GCC. For my project, I have decided to code a small game to improve my coding skills and help me become more comfortable with coding in general. This week I started my research on game development. I learned that most games are coded in C++, but since I am a beginner with coding and I only know basic Java, I decided to focus my research on 2D game development with Java. I found various tutorials that teach basic movements and creating a basic layout. I also learned that Android has an IDE called Android Studio that helps create android apps. I feel that as a beginner my best plan would be to use Android Studio and the various tutorials they have to create my first app. Over the weeks, I will add different aspects that I learn in the tutorials to my app. This week, I went over the basic tutorials to become more comfortable with Android Studio and create a simple layout and home screen. I originally wanted to create a game wi...

Tensorflow

I have continued with the lessons on Python this week and I also watched a few videos on Tensorflow. I learned that tensorflow can do other things besides image recognition. The program can also identify letters and other symbols. This aspect of Tensorflow means that it can be used to create a translator that translates words in a picture. I would like to explore this aspect of tensorflow as well, I am thinking that our next objective with this group will be to create a translator. Unfortunately, we are still having issues with the hardware. I have not worked with hardware as much, and I am more focused on the software, but by trying to fix the issues we are having, I am starting to learn a lot on the hardware side.

Group Work

Our group met with Dr. Frisby yesterday, and now that we have done some research on tensorflow, we are going to start building an image recognizing program. One group member is working to get our hardware working, then we will all work together to train our program to recognize software. I am hoping to begin writing some code, but we will have to wait for the hardware to work to start training our program by submitting correct images and incorrect images. I am very excited for our project.
