Be careful what examples you give your students

Yesterday I sent my students an e-mail link that I came across, of what I thought was an interesting little program that might make for a good project once the AP students took the exam. Well let me say that I wish that I had waited, because many of the students got hooked on the example program. Take a look. See if you can last for 2 minutes in the game. (btw-there is a claim that comes with the game that fighter pilots must last two minutes with this game -I can't verify that though). 

 If you have time try to code it in Java.  I think it would be much easier to write the game than to play for 2 minutes.

Very much easier to write the game than play it for 2 minutes. Nine seconds was my best but I frustrate faster than high school kids. :-) 1/30/2006 11:07 AM | Alfred Thompson
