91 | 9.09 | Beyond the Exam App | 45 | The Pong Game | This lesson reinforces the use of procedural abstraction in programming to generalize solutions. Students have two options: 1) Build Pong from Scratch or 2) Enhance a Basic Pong App. Pong was one of the first computer games and consists of a paddle controlled by the user and a ball, which bounces off the edges. Students add enhancements that should use procedures to provide generalized solutions and require if/else statements. | Canvas, ImageSprite, Ball, Buttons, Label, Global Variables | If/Else conditionals, Variables, Procedural Abstraction | Tutorial Projects Self Check Reflection | ||||||||
92 | 9.10 | Beyond the Exam App | 45 | Debugging Pong | This lesson revisits the Pong game. Now that students understand how it should work correctly, they find bugs in a game that doesn't work correctly.
