Working on MIT App inventor on Wednesday in class was a little confusing but I was successful in getting the app to work. From the beginning, I was little lost when we started doing the blocks and inserting different contingencies. I did however, get my emulator running and I copied the blocks from the board that professor Von Hollen had done, which gave me a successful app. The app showed up on my emulator and I pressed the button 20 times to win. I was very impressed with myself that I was able to even get that working. I don’t think I really inserted the “YOU WIN” part correctly on the second page. I inserted a text box but I don’t think that’s what I was supposed to, I did get the “YOU WIN” part to show up at least. All in all, I think it was a pretty successful day on App Inventor. When I tried to pull up the emulator over the weekend to get screenshots of my work, I ran into a little trouble getting it up. After a couple attempts to get it open and reinstalling it, I was able to get it to work and get my app working again by myself which I did not think I was going to be able to do. I look forward to attempting more and hopefully I get the hang of it soon.
