RESOURCES

● Raspberry Pi- Intro to Computer Science in Python

● One-Quarter (A/B Schedule) ● Half Quarter (Semester Schedule STANDARDS Strand2 : Game Development Standard4 : Control

Students will code events to allow the user to interact with a game. (i.e. mouse click, keystroke).

Students will code conditionals to create collision events (i.e. score, lives) Students will incorporate user input in a game (i.e. guessing a number, choosing an adventure, mad libs) Standard5 : Randomization Students will write code to randomize behaviors in a game. (i.e. sprite images, position, color, and size. Students will control randomization with ranges in code. Standard6 : Enhancements Students will create and call functions to customize a game. Students will write code to enhance the user experience ● Creative openers/endings ● Backgrounds (static/scrolling) ● Timer ● sound/music CONCEPTS (Nouns) SKILLS (Verbs) LANGUAGE SUPPORTS

● Vocabulary Lists ● Visual Aides ● Genre Comparision Tables ● Genre Description Templates ● Interactive Demos ● Perspective Diagrams
