Trading Cards - round 1

Programmers got a first look at their new trading cards in our January meeting.  Here's a sample:
I used sprites from the Scratch programs for the card icons.  Programmers got to choose the background they wanted.  Their "type" was based on the kind of program they created.  Their Level and 'powers' were based on the skills they used in their programs.

The Programmers were pretty eager to either continue work on their existing programs or to start fresh.  I saw some mad skills being used and a lot of learning and experimentation taking place in the 1 1/2 hours of our meeting! They also took some time to choose sprites and backgrounds for their next set of cards.  I'm eager to see what they will look like and how many Programmers will move up to the next level.  Great work, everyone!
