Objectives:

• Learn the basics of block coding

Instructions for Computer:

In this module, you will learn about block coding. If you are on a computer or tablet, watch this tutorial.

Instructions for Smartphone:

Unfortunately, CoSpaces does not offer block coding on smartphones. However, there is a free game called LightBot that is available on android and iphone. Check out the trailer:

Module Activities:

• Code at least one object
• Use more than one block code

When you have finished watching this week’s video and worked on block coding in CoSpaces or LightBot, please fill out a reflection form:

In this module, you will learn about some advanced features of block coding, such as loops. If you have a computer or tablet, you can follow along with the coding. If you are on your phone, you can still watch the video to learn about loops and other blocks of code.

Objectives:

• Learn about complex codeblocks, such as loops

Module Activities:

• Loop an object’s animation
• Have 2 objects move at the same time (i.e. rotate, walk, fly)

In the industry, designers do not create their games or environments with block coding. Instead, they program with languages such as C# and Javascript.

Objectives:

• Learn about line coding

Check out this video that explains what programming does:

Module Activities:

• Pick out a block of code you would like to turn into line coding

If you are curious about how to program in CoSpaces, take a look at their guide: https://cospaces.io/api/

When you have finished learning about these programming languages, please fill out a reflection form:

In this module, you will learn about user testing and feedback. Here is a google document with some questions to ask your audience about the environment.

Objectives:

• Show your environment to a friend and hear their ideas

Module Activities:

• Write down your friend’s feedback
• Take a moment and think about which changes you would like to conduct

When you have finished conducting user testing and gathering feedback, please fill out a reflection form:
