abca9dbd4f This is my third commit. I made the cars 2 in length although I am having a problem where they break apart sometimes.
I am getting very close to finishing the project.  I was having a problem where I made the symbol for the cars 'OO' and only one of the 'O' was leaving the screen when it made it to the far right of the screen.
I emailed you and you said to only make the symbol 'O' and spawn 2 right next to each other.  I figured out how to do this by myself but am now trying to figure out why they are breaking apart.

0247bdb16a I made it so the cars go from left to right instead of top to bottom. I also added that players get 3 lives and changed the color of the background to black on white. I also made the cars 2 wide.
At first it was tough for me to figure out how to get the cars to move from left to right.  I was able to figure this out by emailing you and also thinking about where it was telling the cars to spawn in the retro lab and changing that part of the code.  I had to change a few lines of code where it used the height parameter and changed it to width.
I was able to overcome this by thinking about what each individual line of code did and what I needed to change to fix it.
I have gotten a lot better at debugging code and understanding what each line of code is doing throughout the semester.
I would tell a future student to really think about what each line of code is doing and try to follow along and you should find many of your mistakes.

45f45a428f I added the retro lab code, made 4 python files, and gave the player the ability to move left, right, up, and down.
A recent success that I am proud of is that I was able to give the player the ability to move up, down, left, and right.  When implementing the ability to move up and down it seemed that the code was opposite of what I expected it to be.  I was able to figure out how to implement it the correct way.
