11th Lesson... Guido is going through andropause!

I am still stuck on lesson 17... Guido always ends up running along side the walls... This step sucks... Yeah.

10th Lesson... Guido Does Community Service!

Today I quickly made Guido find his lunch box in a maze, (copy pasted the command from a previous lesson). Then I hit a hard wall at step 17, where I must clean up the park using "while" and "if" statements. It's getting hard...

9th Lesson... Guido Embraces the Storm!

This lesson I covered 3 steps... I feel pretty good about it too. I got around figuring out how to circumnavigate a room using the while and if commands. After that, everything went by pretty fast. The lessons were pretty random, Guido was first closing windows in order to get out, and then farming potatoes after finishing his homework. All in a day's work...

7th Lesson... Taking Out the Trash!

This lesson I learned about the "if" command. It was pretty straight forward and I got past the step quite easily. However, the "while" command in the 12th step was pretty confusing, but I got it in the end. Starting to get used to this...

6th Lesson... Guido goes to the barn dance!

This lesson went by quickly, I got over my problems with step 7 of the tutorial and quickly caught up to step 11. It's great to know the If and Do commands, makes it so much easier...
Well, I can't wait to finish with Guido!
