Firstly I created my first page as a starting page, when the "Start the game!" button is pressed the "Screen2" initializes. In the second page I set the blocks for the answers, buttons, images, and text by using the initialize global block, then I created the "ShowQ" procedure which is the main procedure that is needed for my game. "ShowQ" begins when the screen2 is initialized. "ShowQ" procedure creates the questions that appear in the game and brings them on the screen, in the beginning of the "ShowQ" I used 2 blocks to add +1 to the value of "QuestionNumber", this allows the game to begin since the normal value of the "QuestionNumber" is 0 and changes the question when the previous one is done. I added the "set ... to" + "text" block to change texts and images that appear in the questions, I also added a block named "R" and used it with "random integer" block in order to randomize the questions. There are 2 different posibilities in each question and it is always randomized, so you might need to play couple of times in order to find all 8 questions :D. There are total of 8 questions but each time you play you only have to answer 4 of them. I also added "confirm answer" and "next" buttons. When you click on an answer the "confirm answer" button appears, in order to finalize your answer you have to press that button, and after pressing the button if your answer is correct the answer you choose turns green in order to change the colour of the button i used the "set ... . background to" + a "colour" button, however if it is wrong the correct answer is shown in a red colour. After pressing confirm the answer the "next" button appears, I did this by using "set ... . visible to" + "true" blocks for both of the buttons. When you press the next button "ShowQ" initializes again and when the 4th question is done next time you press "next" button you are sent back to the "Screen1" to replay.

VEX Code

Image
With the VEXcode VR I created a program with code blocks to help a robot with a camera to complete a maze. As you can see here this is the maze. It is filled with different coloured blocks. These blocks help the robot to understand its surroundings and move according to them. In order to allow the robot to actually use the different coloured blocks as guidance I wrote a small code by using code blocks. This is the code I wrote, what this code does is is that it allows robot to move according to the different coloured blocks. I specified the turning and moving speed, I also added a black coloured pen to allow robot to mark the way it had passed. When the robot sees the colour I ask the robot does the next command I put, which is the turn block I used in order to guide the robot to the next target. And lastly when the robot reaches the destination, which is the red block, the robot stops. This is the finished state of the maze and the program. I think that VEXcode has a very big pote

Reflection on FATIH project

  As I understood, FATIH is a technology based project which aims to improve the quality of education and effectively use the technology in education area. The project is not obligatory and it consist 5 components. These components are based on improving the technology that are being used, adding new technological components and structures and improving the usage of these technologies by improving the content these structures and components use.     I think usage of a system centralized around a network is efficient, however since the network we are going to use is going to be a very important component of the system we are designing this system must be made carefully and work properly. I think the EBA with its modules generally looks fine, it has a lot of content such as; e-books, videos, audios and other media content, These are the main contents that aim the student so they must be picked carefully, but the variety of the educational content is also important, it lets students to
