Computer Science Discovery
Interactive Animations and Games

​

You will be working on coding Interactive Animations and Games. We will be using a version of Javascript. Please click on the Code.org link and click on your name.

 

You will skip lessons 1 & 2 and start with lesson 3. .

 

I will have you complete a certain number of lesson each week so that we may finish the unit by the end of the year.

​

Unit 3: Drawing in Game Lab (2 weeks)

Vocabulary:

  Bug - Part of a program that does not work correctly.
  Debugging - Finding and fixing problems in an algorithm or program.
  Program - An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine.

Code: (x-axis, y-axis, width, height)

  fill(color);
  ellipse(x,y,w,h);
  rect(x,y,w,h);

Reminder to turn the 'grid' on for each lesson.

I will be adding to this page as we progress through the lessons

March 13, 2024, (week 21)
Unit 4: Shapes and Parameters (3 weeks)

Vocabulary:

  Parameter - An extra piece of information passed to a function to customize it for a specific need

Code: (x-axis, y-axis, width, height)

  background(color);
  ellipse(x,y,w,h);
  rect(x,y,w,h);

Unit 5: Variables (3 weeks)
 

How can we use variables to store information in our programs? This lesson introduces variables as a way to label a number in a program or save a randomly generated value. The class begins the lesson with a very basic description of the purpose of a variable and practices using the new blocks, then completes a level progression that reinforces the model of a variable as a way to label or name a number.

 

Vocabulary:

 

Variable - A label for a piece of information used in a program.

Code: var
 

May 14, 2024 (week 27)

Unit 6: Random Numbers (2 weeks)
 

How can we make our programs behave differently each time they are run?** Students are introduced to the randomNumber() block and how it can be used to create new behaviors in their programs. They then learn how to update variables during a program, and use those skills to draw randomized images.

 

Code: randomNumber(min,max)
