I wanted to post the last homework over the weekend, but a deadline crunch means that didn't happen. Instead I'll post homework over the coming weekend.

That means it will be due on the last class of the semester, which means I won't be able to mark and return it before the exam. However, I will answer any questions you have about it in that last class, and if we have time I might even be able to mark it and give you feedback during class.

As some of you have noticed, there is a bug in the code I posted for the first project. Sometimes when all the rocks have been picked up and moved to the spaceship/base, the simulation still thinks there is a rock to be collected.

This comes about because when a patch is picked to be the spaceship/base, there is no check if it is already a rock. If it is, when the patch is re-colored nothing decrements the rock counter, so the counter is set too high.

I posted a revised version (not the most elegant solution) on the projects page.
