Been busy with the whole week, first is Drama presentation. Next stuff, is my college annual ProDEx (Project Design Exhibition). My teammates and I had to present our Final Year Project. Sure it was hectic, but it sure was rewarding.

The project that my team and I are working on, is an application that provides a visualization environment for learning programming. To put it simple, it is a 2D game, but instead of using keyboard directional keys or mouse to control the Hero/Warrior, we need to use programming to program the Hero. We called our project as STEPHY, that simply means Simply To Encourage Programming Habit Yourself.

In order to complete the levels, the player needs to program the Hero using our very own Action APIs or script, with combination of C/C#/C++/JAVA-like programming syntax such as for loops and if-then-else statements, to collect all the Stars in the level. There are several constraints like Health points, Cost points and Time factors, and the player would need to plan ahead using their knowledge in programming.

The main goal of the project is the encourage students especially in Computer Science and prospective IT students, to learn programming in a fun manner and build their programming fundamentals better. After all, basic stuff is normally what we always taken lightly, which will eventually affect us in the future. Besides the STEPHY game itself, we also have a Level Editor (which works similar like StarCraft Campaign Editor), that enables players to create levels themselves and let other players to challenge them.

Overall, we had been busy on the exhibition on Thursday and Friday. And best of all is that, our team turned up to be the 2nd runner-up in our category (which is software simulation) for the competition. Quite a number of students and lecturers show interest in our projects, even from non Computer Science students and people that does not have any idea what programming is. The satisfaction, how delightful!
