Gimkit y'all

For our last meetup of the school year, let's do a Code Club Gimkit. I'll give you the game code when we start. Have a great summer!

Earlier...

Coin flip game

Today we'll make another fun game with randomness, and learn more about handling user input. Instructions here.

Python: login then code
Other languages: Use JDoodle

Guessing game

Let's learn how to use random numbers by making a guessing game. Instructions here.

HTML Ohio

You use the web every day, now let's learn how it works. If you're new to HTML, follow Khan Academy's Intro to HTML.

If you already know some HTML, use your skills to make a webpage by logging in and using Web Lab. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Snarky Calculator

Have you ever used a calculator and thought: "I wish this thing was meaner"? That's what we're going to fix today. Instructions here.

Python: login, code
Other languages: Use JDoodle

Sprig

Sprig is a game engine created by teens for others to build on. You can even earn a Sprig console by building and submitting your own game.
  1. Try out some games built by others
  2. Follow the tutorials (one and two)
  3. Choose a game to "remix", and mod it however you want

Text game

We're going to learn everything we need to make a text-based game in Python. Follow along here (or try the advanced version here).

Python: login, code
Other languages: Use JDoodle

Code for candy

Today is a coding challenge to win candy. Look at the challenge here and then pick a language:

Python: login, code, use hints
Javascript: login, code, use hints
Other languages: Use JDoodle

Monday is hard. This is not.

Typing efficiently is important for coding.

Enter the Code Club typing competition to see how your skills stack up and win a prize! You need to create an account first to enter.
Memes aren't important for coding. But they're fun, so let's have a meme competition, too. Use a meme generator like this one or create a meme from scratch. Funniest meme wins a prize!

Want to try something different?

CodeCombat: Kithgard Dungeon is a game where you use Python or JavaScript coding.
Too easy? Don't need fluffy games to learn coding? Start in on 100 Days of Code to learn Python for realz. (Ask for help to sign up for an account on Replit.)

Game Time!

First login here, then come back and choose what to do next. Try something different then last time.

Wanna write your own game in less than 10 minutes? Try Flappy Code.
You can also try Minecraft Adventurer, where you use code blocks to solve puzzles in a mini Minecraft world.
When you're ready, start on the Self Paced Intro to Game Lab. You’ll start off programming animations with simple shapes and build up to creating sprite-based games.

Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza – Simulator

Coding concepts you'll need to use:

var x;
Declare a variable named "x"
x = 42;
Assign the value 42 to the variable x
["a", "b", "c"]
Define a list of values (also called an array)
if (x == y) { ... do something }
Do something if the variables x and y are equal
// This is a comment
A comment explains something (but doesn't do anything)
// TODO: do something
A TODO comment means "Add some code here!"

Do it!

Build an app that simulates the card game

First, login here!

Then, to start coding, go here and click "Remix" at the top of the page
...OR if you want more hints, start here
...OR if you think you can code it mostly yourself, start here

Refer to the coding concepts ⬆︎ above if you need help.
