XD A bit. XD

I'm going to do programming. I'm working on the lesson now, but having trouble with the assignment. I'm a bit confused as to how that

We need a Audio playing machine that loops, and plays different sounds for usernames starting with a letter, number, or text mark. Have it a Custom Block, and use variables for keeping track of everything. Thanks, TheOrderer.

should be done. Could you give me a hint that doesn't give it away? Thanks!

Standard Management Course - Delegation Scenario #1
You are the manager of a small mixed roles team in a large game collaboration. You have been asked by the Leader of the collaboration to complete a task. You must break the task up and delegate it to your team. You cannot complete any work yourself as you are already involved with a different part of the project. The task:

"Hi. For our new game (the platformer one), we need a backdrop done in vector of the landscape to go along with our other art. This needs to be really well done. But then we also need lots of the simpler graphics for the enemies, items and characters which should also be in vector too. We also need some music too, well composed. Oh and we also need the cloud high score sorted out too so it displays the names too. Cheers!"

Here are the members of your team:

Aquanaut = blue
Since it has to be really well done, he/she would take the task to make the backdrop, because he/she is a really experienced artist. Since he/she has little time, the task to make the backdrop would be short and his/her skill level.

Painter84 = purple
Since he/she's good at simple vector art, this task will be perfect for him (which requires simple). Also, he/she has lots of spare time, therefore time wouldn't be a problem.

Musico = green
Being the only musician, Musico would be making the music for the game. Since it's a platformer, I think two or three songs would be good enough for it.

Jacob83 = red
He/she is the only programmer, being a new one, he can make the simpler graphics for the enemies. But since he has very little knowledge, and because he's the only programmer, I think he can try to sort out the cloud high score sorted out, and try to fix it.

Chief: The only programmer here is Jacob83, and he might need some help with sorting out the cloud high score, because he isn't very experienced with cloud data.

Was that okay?

Does this count?

I will release the first lessons for both Customer Service and Standard Writing at around 6:00 British time. Could all the members of those courses please report in. (Although I know a lot of people would have left the former due to its pause.)

Can someone clear up the programming assignment please? I'm not sure how that works - I've never used custom blocks before.

Excellent.

I already did that lesson…

Standard Writing - Lesson 1: Structure

Structure - The arrangement of and relations between the parts or elements of something complex.

Structure plays an integral part in writing. As such, this will be the focus of our first lesson. There are many ways to change structure to suit and enhance our writing. The first is, of course, changing our structure to fit various scenarios such as the following.

Poem

Writers block, oh writers block!
How agonizing! Like a broken clock!
So much things I could design
Pure beauty displayed from line to line
But with a pencil in front, my memory dies
My genius lost before my eyes
I must find a story to fill you with delight
If only I could write

Ideas fly, a dragon's den
A concept used again and again
A wormhole leading to a world unseen
Before continuity errors, intervene
A sword crafted by the gods
Copyrighted, by all odds
A lost truth, shockingly revealed
Oh when will my writer's block yield
My mind goes numb, I'm on my brink
If only I could think

Finally an idea dawns
My creativity re-spawns
The perfect concept, I shan't lie
Oh never will I let it die
A thousand lines all beautifully crafted
And as this poem begins to be drafted
Upon my face, appears a frown
How on Earth do I write this down?

Notice the difference between the two texts? The former is much more formal and organised to help a reader gather as much information as quickly as possible while the latter is focused on helping the reader express this poem vocally. Structure is extremely important to portray your message. This is what your assignment is based on. Firstly, however, we must got through the structure of various pieces of writing.

Poetry - As seen above. Each line is shorter to help keep a steady rhythm. Commas are widely used to ensure the reader knows when to apply emphasis and emotion.

Letter - As seen above. At the top, usually to the left or right, is vital information needed by the reader to draft a reply such as names, contact information and addresses. At the bottom, there should be the name of the sender and a small message that correlates to the letter such as “Yours truly”.

Essay - An essay is shaped in a night symmetrical format. A title at the top followed by an introduction in which you explain the goal of the essay, a longer “main body” for the points of the essay and a conclusion to summarise. You may also need a sources line at the bottom.

Story - A story is separated into chapters under which you use to divulge into your plot. Structure isn't as fixed as other topics and therefore I am much more loose with the structure of the story.

Instructions - Marked by bullet or numbered points, instructions usually list chronologically-ordered demands (therefore involving imperative verbs).

Notes - Probably the least formal and readable out of them all, notes are usually bullet-points of rough points. Those points may or may not be entirely grammatically correct but their raw concept must be understandable to the reader. Should not be used frequently.

Task

Your task is as follows:

1. Create your own piece of writing in any of the aforementioned styles but do it in a different format. For example, make a story with the structure of a letter.
   
   Repeat this step but this time put it in the correct structure.
   
   Evaluate the difference between the two styles and how they suited your writing.
   

To succeed, use this bronze to gold formula.

I can create my own piece of writing in the appropriate style or inappropriate style.
I can create my own piece of writing in both the appropriate and inappropriate style.
I can create my own piece of writing in both the appropriate and inappropriate style and evaluate the difference with confidence.

As a small message, to graduate you need to achieve at least 5 golds. Good luck and remember to speak to me about any questions.
