Funky Projects
Now you have done the basic, let's be a bit more adventurous with your programming! Remember, you can't break it by programming it incorrectly. If you have an idea, the best way to see if it works, is to try it! If you get stuck. No Problem! We're here to help. Head on over to our Forum, drop us an email.
