SOFT6008 Slot Machine Solution updated

Some students didn't build on the coins example to make a slot machine like I recommended and instead went for my solution. That was an old solution that used names instead of IDs. I've since updated that so it uses only getElementById.

Of course it's always better to attempt your own solution to an exercise. That's how the learning happens.

Students worked on the pizza exercise.

Some students worked out the checksum calculation for Polish ID numbers. Nice one.

I talked a little bit about Assessment 2.

We looked at the Mr. SpudHead example. That included the visible property.

I introduced the topic of user input validation using JavaScript. We will continue with this in the next lecture.  I gave out a handout on checksums. Students who didn't get a paper copy can download it.
