Wow, I didn't realize this thread was still going hehe. I've been posting on my other board a lot more... guess I should pay attention to this one too I might learn a thing or 50... as I already have.
As for the plagiarism comment a few pages back, I did explain to my teacher that I did get help. I showed him the original code and told him that's where it all started. I enlisted some help to figure out why it wasn't working since I'm a LISP n00b and all.
I then went on to explain that someone showed me a better way of coding it. I didn't understand half the things considering we have met in class only 5 or 6 times. So, to *further* educate myself, I took the liberty of picking apart each line of code until I understood it.
He then basically "quizzed" me on it all in front of the class and I explained, to the best of my ability, what each line meant, what each function did, etc. Hopefully I won't be labeled as "teacher's pet" form all this.
But, I do like the challenge of being expected to turn in more than just mediocre, elementary work. It'll push me harder to learn more than what will be covered in our class. And thanks in advance for being there w/ me through it all to help me along... I appreciate it much.
Anyway, test is tomorrow over all that we have covered so far. I feel fairly confident I'll do well in large part to you guys. I'll keep ya'll posted.
