301 Show and Hide (6):

Introduction

In this lesson, students will learn how to show and hide Actors using conditionals. Coding concepts covered in this lesson include: When Event Occurs, Costume #/Name, and Operators.

Objectives

Students will...
  • Use conditionals to create projects and games
  • Use code blocks to solve a puzzle module

1. Concepts (Video)

  • Bert, the wizard, introduces three coding concepts:
    • When Event Occurs- The “when event occurs” event block triggers when the condition specified in the parameter is true.
    • Costume #/Name- The “costume #” block represents which costume an Actor is currently using as a number. Whereas, the “costume name” block represents the entire name of the current costume.
    • Operators- Students will learn how operators can be used to check for a specific costume name.
2. Hide the Ghost 1 (DIY)
  • In this DIY (do-it-yourself) project, students will follow step-by-step directions to program a wizard to fire a fireball that makes a ghost disappear on impact.
  • Tell students that they will improve their project in the next module.
3. Hide the Ghost 2 (DIY)
  • In this DIY project, students will expand on their previous project by adding game elements that work with costumes.
  • Did students finish early? Tell them to use the example code in “Step 3” of the tutorial to make the ghost look like it’s avoiding more fireballs.
4. Defeat the Ghosts (Puzzle)
  • To solve this puzzle module, students will need to program three ghost Actors to hide when their costumes are set to “ghost 1” and they are hit with a fireball.
  • Give a hint: Tell students to place the “operator” code block in the white space (where it says “false”) of the “if-then” code block. For example:
        
5. Wizard vs. Zombies Game (DIY)
  • In this DIY project, students will create a game where a wizard fights off zombies! Point out to your students that the “Tutorial” tab does not provide code blocks--they’ll need to use code blocks from the “Blocks” tab.
  • Activities include customizing the background and Actors, programming the wizard and zombies to move, and using the “when occurs” code block to add game rules.
  • Are students getting stuck? Tell them to use code from previous modules as a resource.
6. Quiz (Multiple-choice)
