Prep Course Final Project

For the final project for the prep course, we are to program a Jackpot Simulation. The assignment brief is something similar to this: The jackpot machine has a row of wheels. Each wheel has 5 fruits or symbol.  A player will place a bet by slotting the number of coins into the machine.  The round of game begins when the player press the button to start spinning the wheels.  The player wins when all the wheels shows the same fruit and wins big or win a smaller amount when there are three of the same fruits shown.

Started my prep course!

Hi all,

I have started my prep course this week! The lecturer is Mr. Lim.

Currently he is covering all the basic Java programming materials such as writing the “Hello World!” program and introduction to Java arithmetic operations.

Not only does he has a good background in Java programming, he even wrote his IDE! It is exciting to learn from someone who is also passionate about programming!

Even though I have done some Java programming before, I still manage to pick up some new knowledge along the way. The lesson also corrected some of my Java knowledge.

One good example is Math.random().

I always thought that it is a range from 0.0 to 1.0. My bad for  not reading the Java documentation! But Mr. Lim pointed out that it is non-inclusive, therefore the numbers will be from 0.0000 to 0.99999.

Nonetheless, looking forward to his next class!
