This is way more complicated than it looks...

I spent most of the morning working on my latest homework assignment. We've entered into the world of Java applets, and our instructor wanted us to create a drawing of "an object that makes sense," using programming methods (opposed to "just spare shapes and colors" thrown around the screen). So, here's my object, a train engine. That sort of makes sense. A very simple structure, yet took hours for me to code. Don't worry, this is not the new career path I'm taking! But I will be looking into more classes with the digital arts - possibly photos and drawing for fun. All I could think as I repeatedly opened and closed my browser to check my compiled updates was, "This could have been knocked out in minutes in Illustrator!" :) Our final assignment for the semester is due next week. We have to design and implement a virtual slot machine. Bet on...me!
