Review:

Create a method that will find how much tax you need to pay. Tax is based on income:

public void findTaxesOwed(double income)

That will take in an income for a single filling person and spit out this info:

You need to pay $24,520 in taxes on the $110,000 you earned. That is a tax rate of 22.29%

User Interaction

  • Create a scene on the moon with a torus (under shapes) and 3 other objects.
  • Create a method spinSize that will spin the torus and at the same time, make it bigger and then smaller.
  • Create a method revolveAround that is going to take in as a parameter another object called orbitObject and it will move to that object and then revolve around it.

Functions, if/else, random

Review random numbers:

  1. create a scene where every time space button a ball moves a random distance between 1-4 meters on a black screen
  2. (TOGETHER) create a scene where every time space is pressed the ball moves either left, right, forward,up, down or backward a random distance between 1-4 meters.
  3. Create a scene with a switch (controls-switch). Create a method flipSwitch that whenever the space bar is pressed it will flip from up to down. Create a function isUp that will return true if its up or false if its down.

Saving new classes

  • Create a scene with 3 people or animals and a beachball in the middle.
  • Create a method rollTowards that takes in a parameter objectToRollTowards
  • Have the ball roll towards that object
  • In myFirstMethod, have the ball roll towards each object.
  • Add a parameter numOfSpins that will determine the spin on the ball.
