RV Computer Science Week 3/21 - 25/2022

 Good Day Everyone,

We will be building our Game Development teams & learning how to use the CAD program Tinkercad for 3D design depending on which class you are in.  Let's get to it and have some fun.

 This week:

Period 2, 4, & 5

Monday - Debrief & Game Dev Team Interview preparation

Tuesday - Game Dev Team Interviews - Get your laptop ready to use by bringing up your Practical Tips Document.  You'll use this to take notes.

• Review this article - review the bullet points - read more if you don't understand the point.  Which traits do you posses?
• Possible questions to ask people that will team with you to develop your game.
• What is your game idea?
• explain
• Related to game development, what are your strengths? art, coding, organization, 
• What will make you a good team member?

Wednesday - Finish interview - Requesting people to join your team via email - build your team 

Thursday - Game Dev - Project Requirements - 

• Think Big picture, as a team, what are you going to build?  
• What is the goal of your game?
• How will your characters move?  On their own?  How does the user control the sprite?
• What kind of counter will you use? 
• What are mandatory items and what are the extra enhancements?
• Record your ideas and get on the Practical Tips Document.  
• Don't forget to look at the Game Dev Syllabus for other notes and constraints.  
• (If I am absent on Thursday, start with your morning routine.  You will then get into your accepted teams and begin writing down your ideas.  You can write them down on one doc but it MUST be shared with your teammates.  )

Friday - High & Low level dissemination - Take your game idea apart.  What are the different actions you will need to code?  Thinks: sprite movement, obstacle interactions, backgrounds, score, health, counters, sounds, music, etc...

Record these in your "Practical Tips" document

When you finish:   

1. Update your blog - Some students are taking control of their blog to post about things that they want to talk about.  For example,  anime & fandom pieces, food & recipes, animals, places they want to visit, fears with the world.
2. Redesign your blog - make your blog a thing of beautifying by updating themes, colors, images, & layouts.
3. Scratch - start or continue working on your own project
4. 3D Design - Design something to solve a problem, to create something new, or make a gift
5. Rolling Drones.  FRIDAY ONLY - Get with a drone leader in your class to get started.
