Agenda 5/2-5/6

Do Now #23 – If you had a list full of all of your ToDos and you wanted the computer to print out each one, how might you do it? Don’t worry about the specific code, focus on the what information your program would need to know and keep track of. Would your approach still work if you added or removed a ToDo from your list?

——————–OBJECTIVE(S)—————————

CO: I CAN Recognize an array as a list of elements that can be operated on sequentially.
LO: I CAN create and modify arrays

———————-ASSIGNMENT—————————

CSD – Unit #6 L12 – Arrays and For Loops (on Code.org)

Agenda 4/30 – 5/3

Do Now #19 – One way to move sprites in Game Lab is with the counter pattern. For example sprite1.x = sprite1.x + 1 moves a sprite by 1 pixel each frame of the draw loop. This pattern is so common that sprites have a velocityX property that does this for you. If this is making a sprite move back and forth. How would you make a sprite move up and down?

———————OBJECTIVE(S)—————————

Lesson 15:

CO: Describe the advantages of simplifying code by using higher level blocks

LO: Use the velocity and rotationSpeed blocks to create and change sprite movements

Agenda 4/11 – 4/30

Do Now #18 – How are conditionals used in programming, give an example of when they are used in games or programs you use regularly. (Some examples are:
If my username and password are correct, log me into Facebook OR If Pacman has collected all the balls, start the next level OR If my keyboard or mouse hasn’t moved in 10 minutes, turn on the screensaver)

Do Now #19 Why is using a planning guide important in the software development process?  What improvements to the program (Emoji Race) do you plan on making to make it unique?

Do Now #18 – So far, you’ve seen several different types of input, some from the screen, and some from the circuit playground. Choose one type of input and answer the following questions about it.

1. What code do you need to get information from this input?
2. What’s one example of when you would want to use this input?
