Hello World

I am Daisy Ly, a second year Art & Design: Games + Playable Media student. My partner is Helwa Halloum, a senior in the same major. We met last year in one of our foundational courses and became quick friends after realizing we played the same game (Twisted Wonderland!!). I'm glad to still be her friend and working together with her on this lab!

Helwa is represented here by Azul Ashengrotto--the guy on the right--while I'm represented by Malleus Draconia, who is on the left 😈. They're our favorite characters in Twisted Wonderland.

Lab 2 - HTML & CSS Starter

Challenge

For this lab, my partner and I had to write a paragraph about ourselves and insert it under a header labeled "Hello World." We added images, then further edited the HTML for the "challenges," "problems," "reflections," and "results" sections of the website. Finally, we edited the CSS, inspected the HTML documents for the heading of the sites, and even tried adding links to our homepages.

Problems

Our images wouldn't load when we published our website even though they loaded on the live server. We solved this by copying and pasting the code used to insert the image from our homepages and editing the necessary links, discovering that we needed "img class=" for it to work. We also had trouble getting the links to the homepage and to the Lab 2 website to work properly at all times, so we're still working on fixing that.

Reflection

My partner and I tried our hardest to complete the project requirements and then do a little more than what the assignment on Canvas asked for. (We added links to our homepages directing to the lab pages, and vice-versa, although they didn't work every time.) We struggled a lot with getting our images to load on our websites and therefore kept re-editing the code until we ultimately copied the code from the homepage to see if it would work when linked with the new image, and it did!

Results

We succeeded in creating our first website with HTML and CSS!
