Lab 10 |
Start working on your project, based on what we have discussed in our second individual meeting (April 3rd or 4th). Everyone must create at least one class (must be related to your project), instantiate one or more objects from the class, give the instantiated object visual representation, write class method(s) and invoke the method(s) to make the object move on stage.
This lab is due Thu. |
