19!
we filmed for our final project in the blue screen room today
it was cool
thanks salo for coming to help us!
and then we had a demo with the abacus
that was pretty cool
and then we walked for 1 hr to this robot place
it was actually better than i thought it would be
it was really interesting to hear how they were making this new robot
which i wont talk about cause i think its a semi-confidential thing haha
yeah... and i rode a segway that was cool
on the way back we were whipping people with tshirts that they gave us
i failed miserably :(
so then i decided to put it on my head as a turban/thing that arab women wear
to protect myself from the sun...
(and so i wouldnt have to carry it hahah)
overall it was a good day
besides the heat

2006-07-26T10:37:00.000-07:00

i think i'm the only person here who blogs everyday
oh well
i haven't been taking many pictures
because nothing "big" has really happened
i should start taking pictures again for my final presentation
which btw is with juan, mindi, and lucia
i didn't get who i wanted to be with
but i suppose working with other people
is a good experience because that's
how it is really like in the "real world"
yah so it should be funnn

GOTCHA! is still going on
and i'm happy to say that i am alive
i've killed 2 people so far
working on the 3rd.. and i dont know who has me
which will be bad cause i have to avoid everyone >__<

there is also a dance tonight
that should be fun as well
and the wkend is FINALLY HERE!
that makes me happy

today we did modifying pieces of an image, copying, and mirroring

before&after pictures

here is the code for it:
def mirrorVertical(pic):
mid=getWidth(pic)/2
for x in range(1, mid + 1):
for y in range(1,getHeight(pic) + 1):
basePix=getPixel(pic, x,y)
changePix=getPixel(pic, getWidth(pic)-x, y)
setColor(changePix, getColor(basePix))

def mirrorHorizontal(pic):
mid=getHeight(pic)/2
for x in range(1,getWidth(pic) + 1):
for y in range(1, mid+1):
basePix=getPixel(pic, x,y)
changePix=getPixel(pic, x, getHeight(pic)-y)
setColor(changePix, getColor(basePix))

def doIt():
file=pickAFile()
pic=makePicture(file)
mirror(pic, 1)
show(pic)

def mirror(pic, axis):
if axis==1:
mirrorHorizontal(pic)
if axis==2:
mirrorVertical(pic)
