Variables in Games

In this lesson, we will explore using variables in computer programs. We will explore variables in Scratch as well as designing and writing our own short programs.

Introducing variables

In this lesson, we will learn how variables are updated, and we will learn the importance of naming our variables carefully.

Variables in programming

In this lesson, we will experiment with changing variables by different amounts and in different places. We will also learn how to display a variable in a different way.

Improving a game

In this lesson, we will work on the design of a computer game. We will choose artwork and design algorithms.

Designing a game

In this lesson, we will turn our project designs into code to create our games.

Design to code

In this lesson, we will add more variables to improve our games.
