Grade 10 Summative - Ball Screen Saver

[irshadrashid]

This was a Grade 10 Summative, in which I made a Ball Screen Saver.

This isn't a very efficient program.

Sometimes, it ends before its even started!

Your pictures are too small compared to your output window.

Anyway, a turing cpu would burn your cpu.

But I did like how you created moving balls without any noticable flicker or traces.

4/10

You need to make your program accomodate different aspect ratios, but other than that it seems to work fine. But I am surprised you were allowed to do a screensaver for a final project, although I tend to go a little overkill on final projects, and here we have a few weeks to work on them, so maybe its just me.

You do know it exits when you move your mouse, so maybe you are accidently hitting your mouse.

I didn't know this was a big mystery, see View.Set and View.Update for a tutorial.

Thank you guys for your comments. For my Grade 10 Summative I had to do two programs/games. So I made this and a Pong Game in my other post. I was out of time, so I just made this in a rush; not so good, but good enough for a low level 3.

I know the command but I liked how he used it so efficiently.
