Cow Goes "Weekly Status Report 15" Moo

Week 15 of Cow Goes Moo, we did not do much. The week was cut short by Victoria Day and the Spring Fling Fair. When we were in the class, we focused on completing the big assignment, Lottery Ticket Record Keeping Program and getting it marked. After I finished the basic structure of the program, I added some extra features to the program. I added a function where the user can change the sale record of a previous sale and a one that can show the records of previous sale. Also added the reset button to reset all the records. I did very well for getting the program marked and was satisfied with the result.

Then we did one more lesson of Ergonomics. We talked about the Ideal Workstation to use the computer. Things like adjustable chairs and other furniture and equipments can help to create it. Also the monitor position, brightness or the darkness of the surrounding lights, and surrounding noise can affect the ergonomics of the workplace. In order to not get hurt from doing work, it is important to take a rest at least once a hour and do exercises that can prevent injuries.

Lastly, once we finished the lottery ticket program, we moved on to animation, which is just moving an objective witing Visual Basics form. We used a picture box and moved it up, down, left and right by using the timer function and coordinates. We also made the picture look like it was zooming in by stretching the picture everytime you click it.
