<p><font face="serif">I've gotten a lot of questions in the last 48
hours about your pendulum code and about how much code you can
use from Game of Drones. Please understand, the intent of the
Pendulum was that it was your individual project where you could
really demonstrate your coding abilities.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">I asked all of you last semester and again at
the beginning of this semester to write your own functions and
libraries for common operations. Alex took me up on this early.
During the process of building Game of Drones many of you
started to see the incredible ease and power with which you
could code if you had these little functions pre-built (thanks
to Alex). Now it appears that several of you have just absorbed
Alex's function libraries into your pendulum codes. While I
did not specifically forbid this, when I run your code through
my plagiarism checker it will show a very high correlation and
I will be taking note if there is significant overlap outside of
these functions.</font></p>
<p><font face="serif"></font>If you think you are going to get stung
when I check your code for plagiarism, you might want to talk to
me before making those final commits.</p>
