User Interaction (6)

In this lesson, you will program input controls to move Actors.

New Code Blocks
 : Change the x-coordinate of an Actor by the specified number of pixels.

Objectives

you will...
  • Use keyboard (web) or tilt controls (mobile) to move characters
  • Create unique controls to move Actors

1. Move to Collect Power Cells (Video)

  • You will watch a short video that introduces the upcoming programming activity.
  • Read the captions on the screen - if your speaker or headset is not on.
2. Move Back and Forth Example (Example)
  • You will view an interactive project of Gus moving, which they will create your own version of in the next module!
  • You use your left and right arrow keys (web) or tilt your screen left and right (mobile) to move Gus.
  • You to click the red button to move on to the next module.
3. Move Back and Forth (DIY)
  • In this DIY (do-it-yourself) project, you will program Gus to respond to keyboard (web) or tilt (mobile) commands!
  • You use “change x by” block uses both positive and negative values to make Gus move horizontally (left-right).
  • Check that you understand that the background doesn’t shift Gus to the left--his code moves him independently of other Actors (i.e., the Stage).
4. Move and Collect Power Cells (Puzzle)
  • To solve this puzzle module, you will need to program Gus to move back and forth to catch power cells!
  • HINT: You use a negative 10 (-10) value inside one of the “change x by” blocks to make Gus move backwards (to the left).
5. Make Actors Move Example (Example)
  • you will view a project where the alien moves when arrow keys (web) or tilt controls (mobile) are used.
6. Make Actors Move (DIY)
  • In this DIY project, you will program an Actor to move up, down, left, and right using keyboard (web) or tilt (mobile) controls!
  • Remember: “change y by” block moves the Actor up and down, depending on the value inside the block.
    For example, a “-10” will move the Actor down, whereas a “10” will move the Actor up.
    ***Went you are using the x & y positions, and NOT the point in the direction of block
7. Quiz (Multiple Choice)
  • You will answer 5 multiple choice questions to review concepts covered in this lesson.
