== Thursday (9/27/12) ==
'''Warmup:'''
# Open TextEdit or MS Word
# With a partner, come up with a list of as many game features as you can
#* E.g. Lives, hit points, etc.

'''Agenda:'''
* Demo Frogger Game
** Make sure you have accomplished all the tasks in the Frogger Game
* If you are done with basic Frogger, then try implementing the following advanced features:
** The enemy sprites constantly change costume back and forth (makes it look like they're moving)
** Health/Lives power-up (when picked up, you get a new life)
** Increasingly difficult levels
* Begin working on [[Item collection game]]

== Tuesday (9/25/12) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* Basic Frogger Game
*# Give your game a simple background
*# Have your stage play some background music
*# You will need several sprites.
*# 1 player sprite will be the player and it will cross the screen by using the keyboard.
*# 3-5 enemy sprites will be used to move back and forth horizontally or vertically across the screen (the number depends on how big you make them)
*# When you play your game, you want to cross the entire screen without hitting the enemy sprites.
*# Start the player off with 3 lives (HINT: use a variable)
*# If you hit any of the enemy sprites:
*## Subtract one life away
*## Play a sound effect of getting hit
*## Say "Ouch!"
*## Move the player back to its starting location
*# If lives hits 0, then say "Game Over" and end the game
*## Play a sound effect for the "Game Over"
*# If the player reaches the other side of the screen, then say "You win!"
*## Play a sound effect for winning
*#* Hint: You can use all sorts of different ways to detect how you hit the other side of the screen
*#* Create a long sprite that you detect hitting OR...
*#* Check the y-coordinate of the sprite and if it is greater than the upper bound of the screen

== Friday (9/21/12) ==
'''Warmup:'''
* Create a Scratch program that has a ball that bounces around on the screen

'''Agenda:'''
* Complete your Animations and Evaluations
* Introduction to Basic Game Programming
*# Start game
*# Run forever (game loop)
*# Include rules in your game loop
*# Do the above for every sprite
* Introduction to Conditionals
** Booleans - things that are True or False
** if statement blocks
** if-else statement blocks
* Introduction to Variables
* Avoidance Game Example
*# Add a background to the example
*# Change the sprites
*# Add a lives variable that starts at 10 when you start the game
*# If the player touches the ball, then decrease lives by 1
*# Add another if that checks if lives is equal to 0
*#* If so, say Game Over and end the game (stop all scripts)
* Begin work on your Basic Frogger Game
*# Give your game a simple background
*# Have your stage play some background music
*# You will need several sprites.
*# 1 player sprite will be the player and it will cross the screen by using the keyboard.
*# 3-5 enemy sprites will be used to move back and forth horizontally or vertically across the screen (the number depends on how big you make them)

== Wednesday (9/19/12) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* CSTA Survey
* Animation Evaluations
*# Bring up your animation and make sure it plays with a single-click of the green flag.
*# Receive an evaluation sheet from Mr. Bui
*# Be sure to put your name at the top. As we go around evaluating each others' animations, leave your evaluation sheet sitting at your computer.
*# At the gong, go to another computer and play the animation
*# Complete an evaluation on the original author's evaluation sheet. Be sure you write your name on the author's evaluation sheet.
*# There will be a gong every 5 minutes
*# At the end of class, your computer should have 3 evaluations by other people.
* More Control Blocks
** Repeat X times
** Forever block
* Bouncing sprites animation
*# Your Scratch program should have at least 5 different sprites
