I think the hardest part with this assignment was to actually think of something to do! I mean what can you really do with a navigation? How can we make unique and creative navigation? These questions haunted me throughout the assignment. I considered doing a design with branching paths, something that you would find in those choose your own adventure books but decided against it.
Isabel suggested I do the astrological signs. At first I was resistant but after thinking it over it fit well with my rotation and Acionscript goals. I woke up early Saturday morning and began to design the elements, which came smoothly without any hassle. When that was done I began to code. I stumbled over a few roadblocks of code but eventually I was able to figure out what I set out to do. In the past I've been able to piece PHP code together and make it work, without really understanding the logic of the code. This time I fully understood my code giving me a real sense of accomplishment.
