Dear Class:

I will be grading both the Airplane, Tree Person, and Car Game work on screen.  So, you will be doing Alice which should be on your computers.

Please play with the settings for the mountains that we worked on to see what happens, especially on the x,y axis for the parallax game.

3D Game will follow the Parallel Game. We will finish the roadway with the car. I want to grade the tree game and this car game at the same time.

The time line is thus: We finish the car "game" today. We start Alice today, doing the "Hour of Code". We finish Alice on June 4. I will give you part of June 4, all of June 6 (Friday) and your final day June (Tuesday) to create a project of your own for the final. You may use any program that we have used during this semester for this project.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

We should finish the shooter game today.  You will go to the below YoYo sight and download the zipped file that has the resources that we will use for this game.

You will be working on the game on your own using the Tutorial.  We got to page 11 of the tutorial so start there.  That will involve colliding with the bullet.

While you are working on the tutorial, I will be calling each of you separately up to check on your projects and grade.

The last tutorial is the 3d one and then we shift, hopefully, to Alice.org animation creation.

You will download the "3-Dimensional Games".  This will include the "Resources" folder you will need and the Tutorial itself.

We will be doing the "Scaling" game, but I want to talk to you about the "Isometric", "Parallax", and "Parallel" games they have available.

We will see how we do!  YoYo

We move to the 3D Game and then to Alice which should be on your computers.

3D Game will follow the Parallel Game. We will finish the roadway with the car. I want to grade the tree game and this car game at the same time.

The time line is thus: We finish the car "game" today. We start Alice maybe next class, doing the "Hour of Code". We finish Alice on June 4. I will give you January 27 and your final day to create a project of your own for the final. You may use any program that we have used during this semester for this project.

Thanks.
