Tag: Hour of Code

25. Becoming a Gaming Programmer !

Howdy, Reader.

Have you ever done coding before?

We’ve done some coding recently, using the “Hour of Code” website to determine what we’re going to do coding on. There are a lot of options / popular games to choose from that you could code within! Like Minecraft, Roblox, and such. You could also code from cartoons to challenges if you’re confident about your knowledge with programming.

Explanation

For example: You chose to code the Flappy Bird. Here’s a demonstration that I’ve recorded using Google Vids (since that’s a program that my class is learning to use) to show my code-play on how I coded Flappy Bird. It’s 4 minutes and 34 seconds long, so you can put it in 2x speed (if possible) if you can easily focus on fast settings! Unfortunately there’s no sound due to the noisy background! I hope this video still helps though.

That’s an example of how I’d use Hour of Code, it’s simple! In the video I showed how I would code, if you have enough time to go through the process I did then you can if you want! Try out the other options if you feel the need to. It awards you at the end with a certificate if you manage to finish your progress. That made me feel proud and triumphant!

Glad to Help!

I’ve actually used this app when I was at Technology (STEAM), I found it easy since coding is one of my specialties. If you can, try to use the website yourself! I recommend it since it is educational and enjoyable. You should use this website when you’re bored or when you want to learn how to code.
