Pause to reflect on the journey so far.
Looking Back at Week 1
We started with the basics and steadily built up our robot:
- Day 1 – Installed Java and Robocode, ran a “Hello World” robot.
- Day 2 – Wrote a custom robot and learned the VS Code workflow.
- Day 3 – Introduced variables and datatypes for robot state.
- Day 4 – Responded to events and printed debug messages.
- Day 5 – Held a friendly tournament and created player cards.
Take a moment to review your code from each day. Notice how your robot has grown more organized and reactive.
Questions for Reflection
- Which concepts from this week felt the most challenging?
- What coding habits helped you debug or structure your robot?
- How could your robot improve with the techniques you’ve learned?
- What goals do you have for the coming week?
Use these questions to guide your notes and plan what to tackle next.
