Grade Point Average Calculator V. 2

  I finally finished a more useful application that will calculate your grade point average, this can be used to calculate the G.P.A of core classes, no A.P. classes or credit classes. This calculates on the same basis as the last version where A = 4, B = 3 and so on.

  When you download you will recieve a zip file containing the compiled .exe application and the freeBASIC (or QuickBASIC) .bas source file, feel free to modify the program to suit your needs.

  From now on you will go to the downloads page for various applications and files which will link to mega upload. I am also working on creating a direct download from a website such as dropbox so there will be no need for going to external web sites and waiting for downloads and a bunch of stuff you don't want to go through.

Mine Field

     The game that I have been creating in Microsoft PowerPoint has reached a playable stage. I am calling this an alpha stage because it has not been tested enough and I may want to change some features in the future. I am currently namming the game Mine Field and to my knowledge is not a game, if anyone complains or owns that name and doesn't want me to use this name I may change it. This is a game about navigating your cursor from start to finish without touching any mines, which may be invisble at times. To enjoy this game free of charge you may download it here.

   Recently I have been creating more and more programs, computer games, files, etc... Now I want to share them, I will create a downloads page links to all downloadable files I have published. In the future I will most likely post minecraft worlds, power point games, code source  files, computer applications and more.

Published Program

     I have had programming articles and tutorials in the past and I finally created and uploaded a program to the internet. This is a simple Grade Point Average Calculator that I wrote with the freeBASIC language and compiler. This will calculate the grades for a ninth grade student with the following clases: math, science, english, spanish and theatre arts. The program will essentially calculate the Grade Point Average of any five classes excluding A.P. classes. The program calculates by the standard of A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, NC = 0. Notice that F does not exsist and has been replaced with "NC" or "No Credit", the program will not except - or + symbols.

    For those interested in my first published program you can download it here. Any feedback in the comment section would be greatly appreciated.

Parkzone Ultra Micro Mosquito MK VI

      Just recently Parkzone released their Ultra Micro twin engine airplane, the "Mosquito" MK VI. This is one of Parkzone's first twin engine airplanes. The battery is hidden within a magnetic hatch and also includes a clear cannopy for even more scale detail.

     My first "Mosquito" flight took place at the running track, instead of the usal flying field, which resulted in crashing into a tree. Before the accident I was able to fly for a good amount of time. The plane is a war bird and handles loops and rolls just fine. The plane is fast and when taking off on a runway gradually increase the throttle.

    Included in the box is the "Mosquito", a variable rate charger, aligator clips, and a battery.

  I usually do updates but here is something exciting. Today I bought the Parkzone Mosquito MK VI. The plane is a twin engine bomber plane. Soon I will have photos and videos to share and I will upload them to youtube as well.

Sorry, today I don't have alot of time to write a longer and more useful article but I just want to say, Support your local hobby shop. Recently more and more hobby shops have been closing and more and more people are buying from online. It is important to keep money local and to ensure your hobby shop stays in buisness.
