THIS VIDEO GOES OVER THE EXPECTATIONS FOR TODAY!

Our 1st semester will focus on media creation, while or 2nd semester will focus more on coding.

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.

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will be able to:
      •  Analyze data from users in order to determine areas for improvement.
        Collect useful data from users of your game.
  2. Announcements:
    1. The last day for late work is Thursday, June 5th!

      1. All work not completed by then will remain a zero.
      2. Any work assigned after then is due the same day.
    2. Previous Lessons: Lesson 3, Lesson 4, Lesson 5 & Quiz 1, Lesson 6, Lesson 7, Lesson 8, Lesson 9
  3. Today's Lesson: Code.org Lesson 10: Game Jam Day 2: Play

    1. Vocabulary:
      1. Algorithm - A list of steps to complete a task.
      2. Behavior - An action that a sprite performs continuously until it’s told to stop.
      3. Condition - A statement that a program checks to see if it is true or false. If true, an action is taken. Otherwise, the action is ignored.
      4. Conditionals - Statements that only run under certain conditions.
      5. Data - Collection of information for reference or analysis.
      6. Event - An action that causes something to happen.
      7. Game Jam - A creative event where people come together in teams to make video games based on a chosen theme within a limited amount of time.
      8. Game Mechanics - Define how the game works and what determines success or failure in the game.
      9. Loop - The action of doing something over and over again.
      10. Modify - make partial or minor changes to something, typically so as to improve it
      11. Sprite - A graphic on the screen with a location, size, and appearance.
      12. Sprite Type - Identifies sprites as player or environment, which determines how they interact with sprites of other types.
      13. User testing - Asking real people to try out a product and then make it better based on user feedback.
      14. Variable - Variables store information (data). The value stored in a variable can be updated throughout a program.
    2. Today's lesson will be completed in two locations:
      1. Code.org, which you should log into through Clever.
      2. Using this worksheet for each game you've played.
      3. All students should be working on this group activity today. Because you will have to play each others' games to complete the worksheet, doing this as make-up work will be very difficult.
  4. This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. Please stay on task to complete this work.
