Helloooooo 🙂
Coding… What’s that!? Please click the hyperlink for an explanation.
Coding is so weird in my opinion but very important! If we didn’t have coding we wouldn’t be able to play games, use apps, or really do anything electronically. It’s a form of communication for technology.
To be honest I’ve heard of coding but never really dove into what it actually was because why would I need to… To my knowledge I found out how important it is in order to operate electronics such as games etc.
This week I dove into the website Hour of Code where I learned how to code an Inside Out Bubble popping game.
I was prompted by 16 instructions on the left hand side of my computer screen in the means of coding the Inside Out Game. These 16 steps allowed me to create the game.
Here are some photos of steps I had to complete for the game to be created.
The first image here on the right was the first step instructing me the very basics of beginning the process of coding.  me with the very first prompt. I had to add the code “on start-create board”.
The second image here on the left prompted me to add the code “new bubble and add in a sprite”. A sprite is a character within the game.
The third image on the right, instructed me to code the “sprite 120 degrees” which placed it below the bubble that was going to be shot upward.
The fourth image on the left , instructed me to code the direction I was able to move the direction of the bubble (right & left).
The fifth image on the right, Instructed me to code “on A button pressed toss bubble” This allowed me to shoot my bubble upwards.
The last image I have provided on the left, instructed me to code “on sprite of kind Bubble hits wall at location, stick sprite to location” this code allowed my bubble to stick to the bubbles above.
Additionally, there was a step so that when the bubbles contacted the same colour they would burst.
This experience was pretty cool! I think coding is bazar, I never really understood it before. I am still confused how it works really… That the crazy world of tech for ya!
Here is the completed game please play a round!
