Lesson 9 Challenge



I chose the Made with Code coding lesson.  The allure is the Disney Inside Out movie and that the subject of the coding exercise is a girl.  The actual coding doesn't have anything to do with who can use the code.  It was a bit difficult to figure out exactly what I was doing wrong.  The hints the program gave didn't fit the problem I was experiencing.  It gave me the suggestion to modify my walk block when the problem was with the angle at which I was attempting to jump onto the railing.  I chose 90 degrees when I should have chosen 45.  Once I figured out that was the problem the coding worked and the girl slid down the railing.  This is also the same sort of coding that is used in Lego's Mindstorm robotics programming software.  Very interesting, although it doesn't really show the programming behind the scenes.  That may not be necessary.
