Forum Programming and debugging questions
Hello,
Several of my students would like programs they're working on to not only detect the color of the terrain in a specific location (we've got that set) but also to detect percentage of terrain of a specific color.
Example:
If making a game or simulation where the ground is burning, the color is going from green to black. Is there a way to detect the percentage of terrain which is black?
The link below will take you to a google doc that contains printable copies of 6 specific sets of coding challenges, that are organized as follows:
Set 1- Math Concepts- Left/Right degrees & Heading
Set 2- Math Concepts- X & Y Coordinates and Random
Set 3- Math Concepts- Heading, Absolute Value & Percent Chance with conditionals
Set 4 - CS Concept- adding color to terrain and repeat loops
Set 5- Math Concepts- Z coordinate (Altitude and 3-D view)
Activity
Have students open the Lightbot Activity using this link, and complete the "Basics 1" (series of 8) activity. These steps introduce basic concepts of looping, procedures, etc within the pre-programmed Hour of Code activities, and students enjoy the challenge of completing the puzzles (and if time allows, let students continue throughout the Lightbot activities).
Then, brainstorm with students how they could create a Lightbot experience for someone else in SLNova.
