Chapter 21 Break and Continue
Break and Continue give you ways to bypass instructions in a loop
When break is encountered the program skips to the end of the loop and regards the loops as finished
Exercise: copy your Week 10 X-maker program code to a new project and modify it with break so that it only prints a maximum of 10 Xs
Example output
Making Xs! How many Xs do you want? 6 XXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 2 XX How many Xs do you want? 25 XXXXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 57 XXXXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 0 I'm done!
When continue is encountered, execution skips to the end of the loop, but then returns to the start of the loop and continues iterating the loop as before.
Exercise: Write a program that prints out a range of numbers and after each one prints "is not a multiple of 3"... unless the number IS a multiple of 3, for which it prints nothing after the number. Use continue to skip the that message.
Hint: This program probably makes some use of the modulo operation (%).
sample output:
Multiple of Three? 1 is not a multiple of 3. 2 is not a multiple of 3. 3 4 is not a multiple of 3. 5 is not a multiple of 3. 6 7 is not a multiple of 3. 8 is not a multiple of 3. 9 10 is not a multiple of 3. 11 is not a multiple of 3. 12 13 is not a multiple of 3. 14 is not a multiple of 3. 15 16 is not a multiple of 3. 17 is not a multiple of 3. 18 19 is not a multiple of 3. -
William Hennes @willaim is so busy doing cool things with A:M that he never gets around to posting it here, so I'm posting it for him!
QuoteFinishing up another project …. I love printing in resin some replacement faces for stop motion and some coins. A video of my 3D model and then I am exporting each pose as a model.
"Replacement" animation is a variation of stop-mo where, instead re-posing a clay or rigged model, pre-sculpted portions are swapped out for each exposure to create movement.

For some reason the female model "tans" when rendered
Interesting problem.
I believe the model's "Diffuse FallOff" was set high.
Try a value from 100-200

For fans of the 1980s...
A ‘time capsule’ DeLorean was found in a barn. It had 977 miles on it.
I can't recall anyone modeling a DeLorean in A:M. Has anyone?
@Rodney Article doesn't mention wiring trouble but with all those mice...

Article on a ginormous exhibit of Picasso drawings in Paris.
Anyone have a couch in Paris I can camp out on?
QuoteThe first word that Pablo Picasso ever pronounced was “pencil.”
At least that was how his mother remembered the young prodigy: that he drew before he could speak, and that the word “piz” — short for “lápiz,” or pencil in Spanish — was the first sound he ever made.
That’s because young Pablo grew up in the atelier of his father, José Ruiz Blasco: an academic painter, art teacher and restorer to whom he was apprenticed when he could barely walk and whom he quickly emulated...
...Picasso’s father was an academic painter who often had to paint pigeons and doves, so little Pablo was in charge of making sure that these pigeons and doves wouldn’t fly off. He fed the pigeons and attached them to panels to stop them from moving during the sitting, because his father had to be able to paint them...
...Nearly 1,000 works — notebooks, drawings and engravings, most of them borrowed from the Picasso Museum in Paris — will be on show in what is billed as the largest-ever retrospective of the Iberian master’s drawings and engravings. The exhibit, “Picasso: Endlessly Drawing,” runs through Jan. 15...

So many books! So much to know!

Never mind, I think I got it.
If I put a pair of <div> tags around the content and put the color in the div tag, everything between the tags gets the color
<div style="background-color:Silver;">
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</div>If you use <body> tags in HTML in these posts they are deleted
-
Color applied to heading background.
Color applied to the paragraph background.
But there are still default-color gaps
-
When using HTML in a forum post it is possible to define the background color of a table cell as shown below. Is there a way to define the whole body color without making a table?
Using regular <body color...></body> tags doesn't seem to work.

After 2024, a total solar eclipse will barely scrape the US in 2044
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_23,_2044
A much better one will occur in 2045...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_August_12,_2045
But 21 years is a long time to hang on if I miss this one in 2024. April will not be a good month for clear weather.
-
The percentage of eclipse was pretty low in your area.
But there is a total eclipse coming thru both our neighborhoods next year April 8 2024, probably the last chance in my lifetime to see one.
-
hmmm... sounds like a @Jason Simonds matter.
Possibly you've upgraded element of your computer?

Lesson 20 For Loops
Do this for your assignment: Make a program that will prompt the use for a number from 0 to 60 and print out a row of that many Xs.
If the entered number is 0 the program exits.
Sample run:
Rows of Xs! How many Xs do you want? 8 XXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 13 XXXXXXXXXXXXX How many Xs do you want? 0 We're done!
This project uses both "for loop" and your recently acquired "do while" skills.
Hint: First write and test a for loop that prints out a row of n Xs.

when i load the choreography, it asks for the mdl. i point it to the vase mdl. it opens and i was able to render the animation of a sliding vase.
And you're on a Mac?
How about "DialogFreeze004 external JPG MAT MDL ACT CHO.prj"

10 episodes! I had no idea you had put that much together.
I have no knowledge of Minecraft so I can't begin to imagine what is involved in making all that. But somehow you've made a TV series in a game?
I had missed your update on June 5, The A:M part looks promising too.

John, try setting Color Method>Additive Color to OFF
-
That's weird . The color of the sprite shows up in the reflection but not on the sprite itself.
When I try it I get white-only in real time, full color in a progressive render, and white sprites with color reflections in a full render.
This may become a bug report.
getting a bit rusty at modeling did this tonight

That animation is a bit... RUFF!
