301 Conditional Loops (5):

Students will be able to apply these concepts:

• use conditional loops to animate actors
• use functions to store and recall long blocks of code

Vocabulary

• Conditional Statements – a computer programming convention that is used to compare alternatives to determine if they are true or false.
  ~~ The ‘If then’ statement is an example of a conditional statement. ~~
• Functions - a procedure that completes a certain task

New Tynker Code Blocks

1. Introduction (Concepts module)

• Let’s find out more about the 'switch to costume' and 'forever if' blocks

2. Looping Knight Moves (DIY project):

• This module involves programming an extended block of code that controls the knight’s movement using loops.
• Rather than using “when key pressed”, this project uses the “if key pressed? then” block to constantly check whether the arrow keys are being held down.
• All the code fits in one huge “forever” loop, which contains:
  • the code for bouncing off edges and walls
  • motion
  • animations

  The code for each direction will be only slightly different-- you will have to alter the “key pressed?” condition as well as the angle.

3. Knight Attacks FUNCTIONS (DIY project)

• This module cleans up the code from the previous one by using functions.
• The purpose of the code remains the same-- to move and animate the knight as he runs around with the arrow keys.
• HINT: the point of functions is to make it easier to do complex things without having to repeat the same code all over the program
• you will get to code an attack animation for the knight that is triggered with the spacebar.

4. Zombie Survival

• In this puzzle we need to program the knight to chase and kill all the zombies
• What sequence of costumes should be selected in the 'switch to costume' block?
  • First change into the Attack 1 costume
  • Then figure out how many attack costumes are left
  • Then, put in a loop that will use wait, and next costume so that gets through all of the costumes each time the function is called.
  • That's all!!!!

5. Animation Control (DIY project)

• Explore on your own
