1. Enhance the First Encounter program from lecture 3. As in the lab, the robot should say "Take me to your leader", and then both the robot and the alien should walk away. Make the camera follow them to the Valley of the Toasters (which you should populate).
10 points for a scene that leads the fellow travelers to their
destination. 5 points extra credit for assignments that add something
original, fun or impressive to the story, but only if the basics work.
Another 5 points extra credit if you don't dump all the code into my
first method, but put some of the code into methods of the robot or
alien.
2. Create a world with a tortoise, some kind of surface such as table or chair, and a cookie on that surface. In your program, the tortoise should turn to face the cookie, think a pleasant thought of your choice, move towards the cookie, eat the cookie, then turn towards the camera and wave an arm to express its thanks. However, if the cookie is colored green, the tortoise should say “Blecch” and not eat or wave. (Tortoises are near-sighted, so they first need to move to the cookie in order to perceive it's color.)
Feel free to change the story to use other actors and food objects. I don't want to be bored to tears watching 25 tortoises...
15 points if you get all the details correct: First turn, then think, then move, then either eat or say “Blecch”
Put two attachments, encounter.a2w and tortoise.a2w into the eCampus assignment.
