JSUMC orientation
MoleMash writeup due
Tuesday:
for Tuesday, read about sprite animation in App Inventor 2
In class, we will work through the Pong tutorial and then do some extensions
Wednesday:
(Why not do a current event?)
for Wednesday, read about making a slideshow app that can step through a list of images. You may find this confusing - try to follow along, we will clear up any questions in class.
We won't actually be making a slideshow, we'll be making a quiz app. Here are the directions.
When you finish the basic app, extend it:
- make it speak - have it say "You answered " + your answer (use the Join block) and have it say "Correct" or "Nope" or something school-appropriate
- make it count correct and incorrect answers
- make the background change colors for correct and incorrect answers, and go back to white when you move on to the next question.
- think about how to make it be multiple choice. Tricky! You might want to look into how to work with lists of lists. . .
