The Beatles new interactive game

[BSJ]

There should be medals given out - 1, 2 and 3 place!

[Helmut83]

Yeah, there will be! You just have to come to my house to fetch them.

Still no winners though, so I didn't have to send any medal to strike.

I finally found Yoko, then crashed!!!

Nooo!!! Head grabbing moment! You were inches away from winning.

Did you see George and Ringo on the way?

[unomusette]

I'm pretty rubbish at it, but if it was too easy it wouldn't be worth it. Good game, Helmut83!

[BSJ]

Gosh darn it (trying to keep this clean for the kids)! Helmut I love the game so far, as far as I can get! I can't stand to hear I'm a Loser ONE MORE TIME! I want to see Ringo! (Peace and Love, No autographs please!)

TK6 hasn't come home from work at a decent hour this week. Hope to show him your game soon. Maybe he can get John to Yoko.

[BSJ]

Well, said unomusette ! Just need remember not to play with a belly full of cheap white.

But this is how I feel I'm being treated after a few games -

[Helmut83]

Haha, thanks, unomusette ! Yeah, I tried to make it quite challenging, not somethething you would win at the first try. Horace was really close to winning it once.

BSJ : diagonals are the key, I tell you! Use diagonals! If you get to see Ringo and George, avoid them. They are careless and could bump into you.

I'm sure tk6 will win it. I wouldn't expect less from a computer savvy guy like him. Besides, he can analyze and understand the code. That's cheating!

[unomusette]

I think half my problem is giggling too much at the mad fans and the pesky bras....

[BSJ]

Helmut83, the diagonal cha-cha is performed. Well, Mick is a terror! Thank god you didn't put Keith in a car! He'd end up driving out of the game and smashing to bits our computers!

Ha! The code!

[Helmut83]

BSJ : haha, yeah, Mick has the rockstar attitude, he goes the wrong way at full speed. Did you get to pick up John or spot him?

unomusette : all those pictures and sounds come from the real Beatlemania. I downloaded the sound of several videos I found on YouTube about the Beatlemania, then cut the small parts I needed. Same as the fans, they are cut from real Beatlemania pictures I found in Google. I got the few phrases the Beatles say from videos of interviews. Gathering all the sounds and photos (and reducing them to the proper size, cutting them and drawing the rest) took me probably more time than the programming itself.

[BSJ]

No, no John yet.

When will you be graded?

[Helmut83]

From this course? I have just started it! This is the first pset in fact. If you do it online it's self-paced, and if you attend personally it's semestral, which means it has quite a lot of content.

I am graded in Java SE.

[BSJ]

OK. There's no feedback?

[Helmut83]

There is supposed to be, but apparently for the time being the professors are not correcting psets because they are on vacation or so I read on the website (I'll ask a few other people who are taking the course just in case). That means once they come back I'll probably hand in several psets all at once. But yeah, the idea is to get a feedback from them.
