Firedrake's Programming and Scripting Class: Join Now!

Welcome to my programming and scripting class!  This is a class where you don't get a grade.  Instead, you have a final project that you submit to me.  You can learn at your own pace, and drop in wherever you think you want to start learning.  At the end of each semester, a diploma will be given out to those who I believe have succeeded.  A tutorial will be put out every week or two.  Friend me if you want to see them on the front page.  The gallery of tutorials is here.
---
Good luck, and have fun!
---
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

This topic is rogue (don't ask...)
Don't expect good graphics
Contact me through a project of mine

---
Topics we will cover: (subject to change)

-Movement basics
-Variables and lists
-Pen and color
-Velocity
-Broadcasts
-Math usage
-User interactivity

Feel free to ask me to remove or add a course!

Application form:

Name:
Scripting level:
Best program:
Nerd level:
Anything I should know:

---
ASSIGNMENTS:

-Make a project where a sprite points to your mouse, follows it, and in the beginning, rotates
-Use three loops, at least one broadcast, and one wait, and use the skills taught in all lessons previous
-Use lists and variables along with operators to do math
-Take input from the user, and use at least two sensor blocks

Will add more as the class progresses.
Red = working on
Yellow = upcoming
Green = finished
---
Status: Class in project; no student spots left; one tutorial out
---
Routine:

1.  Every week or two on Saturday I will upload a lesson
2.  You go through it and ask me questions, which I answer
3.  I give an assignment and you work on it
4.  When I upload the next lesson, you turn in your assignment

---
For your finals, you will make a project focusing on the scripting in one month.  I will take them in, download, and judge them.  You will then get a diploma if you pass.  Don't worry, it's pretty easy!
