Results

As this was my first ever programming project, I am very happy of the final product (and the grade)!

I think what was more important was the experience I gained from this project. I learned a lot about programming, computer science, and the process of building a full application from scratch.

I enjoyed learning the basics of programming, which included variables, loops, conditionals, and functions. I really liked the ability to add my own theme to this program, and it was cool seeing what my classmates did with their themes and paint projects.
