301 Motion and Tracking (4):

Lesson Introduction activity summary video

• Tynker 301 Lesson 4 Knight Moves
• Tynker 301 Lesson 4 Knight Attack
• Tynker 301 Lesson 4 Castle Maze
• Tynker 301 Lesson 4 Maze Level Create your own and SAVE it!

Students will be able to apply these concepts:

• program keyboard keys to direct actors
• program actors to sense when they are touching other actors
• program actors to point in specific directions.

Vocabulary

Human-computer Interaction – the way people use devices to make computers do the things they want them to do (mouse, keyboard, microphone, switches, mouse pad, game controllers, etc.).

• 'Show'
• 'Hide'
• 'Goto X Y'
• 'Pick Random'
• 'When actor clicked'

1. Introduction (Concepts module)

• 'point in direction', 'when key pressed', and 'touching?' blocks

2. The Knight Moves (DIY project):

This DIY project is straightforward review. Students will program the knight to move up, down, left, and right with the arrow keys.

3. The Knight Attacks (DIY project)

• In this module, your students will program the knight so that he is unable to walk through the walls.
• The computer doesn’t automatically know to make walls behave like walls
• You have to set up the code properly to make the Actor unable to move through certain things

4. Get to the Treasure (puzzle)

• In this puzzle we need to program the Valkyrie to navigate the gauntlet and get the treasure without getting caught by the ghosts. 
• Things to take into consideration when coding this puzzle:
  • When the up arrow is pressed what is the 'point in direction' block set to?
  • If the knight is touching anything on the stage, he will take 10 steps backwards.
  • What happens when the knight gets to the edge of the screen?

5. Gauntlet (DIY project)

• This DIY project will put your new walls skills to good use.
• You will make a maze for your knight to move around in!
• No Actors are added for you - you have a blank slate to work with.
• That means you will have to be inventive to construct the maze.

6. Quiz

Recap:

In this lesson we learned how to:

• program keyboard keys to direct actors to point and move in specific directions
• use the 'when key pressed' and 'point in direction' blocks
• how to sense when an actor is touching
  • another actor (a wall in this case) using the 'when touching any'
  • the edge of the screen using 'if on edge, bounce' blocks.
