THIS VIDEO GOES OVER THE EXPECTATIONS FOR TODAY!
Our 2nd semester will focus more on coding than media creation, though we will have other lessons sprinkled in.
Regardless of the lesson, FouloisTech.info should be your destination every time you come into class. This space will be used to provide announcements, lessons, and other resources.
- Objective:
-
Students will be able to:
- Create their own collector game in Sprite Lab using multiple sprites which are controlled individually and variables to track the player’s score
-
- Announcements:
- The last day for late work is Thursday, March 20th!
- This deadline is 2 weeks before the end of the Quarter. That time is needed to ensure all late work handed in before then is graded in a timely fashion.
- For the last 2 weeks of the Quarter, all assignments must be handed in on the day they're assigned unless there is an excused absence on file.

- Today's lesson will be completed in Code.org, which you should log into through Clever.
- Remember to not start today's lesson until all previous lessons have been completed! Each lesson builds up the skills needed for the next one.
- This lesson has eight (8) Levels.
- The first is an "Exploration" level where you only need to do one of the activities to earn credit.
- Levels 2-8 are a linked Mini-Project that has you building a game one part at a time. As you complete each part, DO NOT delete or change that code when you go on to the next part or you will have to start over.

- This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
