This week during help desk we spent our time flying drones. I have had previous experiences with drones. When I was young I used to own my own drone that was cheap from amazon. It has been years since I have flown a drone and using the Tello drones I can tell the advances that have happened. For one my old drones controls were not reliable and were hard to fly. But the Tello drone and the tello drone app are far better from what I was used to flying. After only a few minutes, I was able to get the hang of flying the drone. This could be because of my previous experience with drones. But I feel that the controls for the Tello drone are also very simple and user friendly. And anyone could learn how to fly a simple drone like the Tello drone.

On Tuesday i was able to get the Xbox series X which is the next generation of consoles. I have only had it a few days and can already feel the differences compared to my old xbox that is now around 7 years old. For one the load time of any game is significantly faster and with the new quick resume feature loading into games is 10x faster than before. The game i have been playing the most on the console is NBA 2k and with this game you can see the capability of this console with how 2k has made a large open world with hundreds of player i each server. For only having this console for a few days it has got me very excited about the future and what games that are made for this console will hold.

During the last few weeks we have been working and preparing for cs week.
Over this time I have been working with processing and code. The website we
used was openprocessing.org, here you were able to mess around with a code that
created a circle that followed your mouse around. With the code you could change
different properties like make the circle bigger or smaller. I also found out how
to change the color by adding what I had learned in different class and adding that
code into the processing website, to change the color of the circle.

During this week at help desk we have been working with game design with game salad. And working with a game called Wizard run. With this game that we have started working on the main goal is to collect the key while jumping over the dragon in the middle. With Game salad I have been learning how the different characters work. On Friday I added arrows for anyone on a iPad to be able to play this game, by taking a photo of the arrows and programing them to either move right, left, or up.
