heins57: thats really good, fair play. you should be proud of yourself.

mine is ok, it could be better. the bit that is on the outside bottom edge, between the handle and the back buttons is a bit messed up. its annoying but i didn't have time to fix it.

looks cool, so do you just hold it or are you trying to do a skate hero kind of thing too?

Here is my NES https://us.v-cdn.net/6034073/uploads/attachments/291446/106048.jpg

and MDR twist

What you think?

It has a jel filled thumb pad for sensitive movement etc, the controller rotates in the centre, twist it and you can 'steer the car' or lean over in shooting games etc.
it has a heart rate sensor which if you were more relaxed, it would be more sensitive or react quicker if your heart rate is up.
it has a camera which follows your eye movement so the camera view in the game looks in the direction your eyes look. .... well it is a new concept.. :L

Finally got around to getting my Photorealistic views up on this.
Existing artifact:

logo didnt come out i was so disappointed after so much work

Concept Idea:


basically i changed one of the analog sticks to a trackball and put the xyab buttons onto the bottom and put a powermat charging thing on for the fun of it.

let me know what ye think of it

sligo.

i used to think it was a waste of time but it is 40%, so if ya put in the effort then its a good idea.

now we just need to do the rest of the course in like 12 weeks

Same, we're actually doing this ourselves as practice, it's fun but we're nowhere near this standard yet.

How are people finding the revision for the exam? DCG is the only subject that takes the extra bit of effort to study, setting it up and all, so probably not doin as much as I should:p

Hopefully I'll do well in the project, make it possible to get an A overall. I must say the project was tough going but well worth it, takes up a lot of time but was great craic all the same. What I said earlier on in the thread about doing it at home was bs by the way, I thought I'd be able to do bits of it at home but I soon realised that solidworks was incredibly slow on my laptop:P And anyway, there's nothing like doing it in school where you have help to overcome any problems with it.

I find it hard to revise stuff on my own, im just doin exam q's but theres no book to check if i get stuck, just solutions, which arent much help because i really prefer going over the methods of what im doing. Like in maths you can look up the different chapters, with this you really need your teacher whenever your stuck

Hey guys, I'm an architecture student and at the moment I'm giving grinds in HL DCG for the Leaving.. was just wonderin since all you 6th years are still in school have you heard any predictions from your teachers in the section B of the exam for what questions might come up? Thanks

UpTheSlashers

Hard to make a prediction, this is only the second year of this syllabus so theres no kinda pattern

Screwedforlc

I hate that stupid project, id get an a1 if it was just a normal exam but 40 marks is way too much for a thing on d computer that i couldnt use

Why should someone get an a1 in an area that is 95% on computers if they cant use them?

Good point, i actually enjoyed the project, very different from anything I did in other subjects

cally5

Thanks, ya i guess it is pretty impossible to predict was just wondering did any of the teachers have any insight that I wasn't aware of.
Had a look around at most of the projects up here out of interest and I'm so impressed, the new solidworks looks a lot more advanced than last year. And if some of ye are worried about the results being split into 40-60 don't, its grand, I honestly didn't expect much of mine last year and I ended up gettin full marks in the project and the best overall result in DCG in the country.. random as hell, and by the looks of it you guys all have a way higher standard of work. Good luck with it anyways
