IB Computer Science 1

From WLCS

Tuesday - Friday (5/26/20 - 5/29/20) : Self-distancing : Week 11

  • Convert your "Top-Down" Perspective Game (Robots / Item Collection Game) to Java
    • Note: There may be some required modifications to the Sprite.java code
    • This next game will use a top-down perspective and be a variation of many games that you might have played in the past
    • The keyboard will move the player around (WASD or arrow keys)
    • The player must collect 5 or more items on the screen. Collecting all the items wins the game.
    • The player must avoid colliding with at least 3 enemy robots that follow it around. Colliding with a robot loses the game
    • There is a timer counting down, and the player must collect all the items before it hits 0. Otherwise, the player loses.
    • The screen wraps around (e.g. player moving off screen to the left appears on the right)
  • Additional challenges (optional):
    • Robots that collide with each other become disabled "land mines"
    • Attack ability so that player can fight back a robot
    • Health meter for the player
    • Levels that increase in difficulty (e.g. add more robots)
    • Warp doors - the player going through the door appears at the other door
    • An invincibility or shield power-up item
  • If you are submitting this assignment for grade elevation:
    • Create a video demonstrating that your program works
    • Within your video, you must also present the source code by highlighting and explaining what the different sections within your code do

Monday (5/25/20)

  • Memorial Day

  • Download and read over all the code within DinoGameWithOOP.zip
  • Re-implement OOP: Flappy Bird in Java
    • You may use your pre-existing Python Flappy Bird code to help you through this
  • If you are submitting this assignment:
    • Create a video demonstrating that your program works
    • Within your video, you must also present the source code by highlighting and explaining what the different sections within your code do

  • Mr. Bui is in the process of closing out 3rd Quarter grades
  • Watch Java Method Signatures
  • Complete the Java Processing: Bouncing Ball Lab
  • Java References (if you feel like they'll be useful or you want to skim them to see what's there)
  • You will be converting several of your old Python Processing animations to Java Processing. You do not need to turn them in yet. Simply verify that it works yourself.
    • Convert your Python Processing Emoji to Java
    • Convert your Python Processing Hover Buttons to Java
    • Convert your Python Processing Tic-Tac-Toe to Java
  • If you do not have your Python Processing versions of the assignments above, then you may use somebody else's Python Processing code just to practice porting it to Java. You may find the Python version of some programs here
  • Make sure you successfully execute and test each of the programs that you convert over to Java
  • Feel free to practice converting other Python Processing programs to Java

Tuesday - Friday (3/17/20 - 3/20/20) : Self-distancing : Week 1

  • 3rd Quarter ends Friday (3/20/20)
    • All IB CS 1 grades are currently being entered for the 3rd quarter, so if you check and notice a grade is incorrect, then please e-mail Mr. Bui
    • Recheck your IB CS 1 grade daily because Mr. Bui is updating it right now.
    • If you wish to update a grade b/c you needed to complete a missing/late assignment, then please e-mail Mr. Bui
    • No work for 3rd Quarter will be accepted after Friday (3/20/20)
  • 4th quarter schedule of assignments will be posted soon (after Mr. Bui finishes closing out 3rd quarter grades)

Monday (3/16/20) : Self-distancing : Week 1

  • All students are still expected to have completed all the repl.its assigned when school was still in session last week (see previous date below)
  • Mr. Bui is developing a weekly schedule of Java-related programming tasks and resources. A complete schedule should be posted by Tuesday (3/17/20) morning
  • Mr. Bui is also developing a question-answer workflow so that students can ask general and specific questions. The workflow will look something like this:
    • General questions should be posted in the Canvas Discussion area; however, the student should check if any existing discussion threads already answer their question. If not, then a new thread should be created for their question
    • Specific questions about student code will require students to take a screenshot of their own code and message it to Mr. Bui. The Canvas messaging system will likely be used for this because Mr. Bui does not want his inbox to be flooded
  • If you have any questions right now, please feel free to e-mail Mr. Bui or create a Discussion thread. Please note that if you e-mail a question, and it's a good question, then Mr. Bui may create a thread himself to repost and answer your question
  • Please note: Mr. & Mrs. Bui have their own children at home with them, so do not expect immediate responses.
