Term 2 Overview
Focus: Building a complex computer game using programming and planning
|
Term 2 and a half will focus on developing a complex computer program with this assessment:
Develop Complex computer program for a specified task Throughout this 10 week term we will focus on learning Java script to program a game. This term will be quite advanced and difficult, particularly for those students who have never done any programming before. For those who have not programmed before I would strongly recommend going through a selection of courses found here. Good luck with this |
Why? and who cares?
Coding is the life blood of the computer industry, without code the world would come grinding to a halt.
Coding is one of the easily higher paying careers and helps us control and run our environment around us. |
What is different from Level 2?
|
Level 2 (AS91372 & AS91373) had a focus on what we called advanced programming methods...
The focus in Year 12 was on using functions and arrays. Year 13 will focus on using Classes, importing text and Graphical user interfaces. You will want to learn about using on click events in JavaScript and also how to plan for this assessment. Level 3 combines the assessments into one (AS91635) and publishes it that way |
What to look for when learning Javascript Level 3 in Code Avengers
In order to pass AS91637 you will need to be able to program a game with a graphical user interface.
You will need to know the basics from level 1: Variables, Loops and if statements.
and from level 2: Arrays, functions
Level 3 you will need to look at importing a text file, working with a gui and using classes.
Further from that you want to look at using classes rather then independently drawing each block. in each level.
