  1. CSS 290: Video Games and Computer Programming

  2. Reading: Conditional Statements • PLAD Ch 4 • The objective for this book is to provide you with a clear, CONCEPTUAL understanding of what the different programming concepts are • We will then use GameMaker, and then C#, to see concrete examples of them. • 4.1: Really good – flowchart aspect is really nice, as are the ‘relational operators’ • 4.2: If / Else • 4.4: Nested and “Chained” decisions • SKIP: 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 CSS 290

  3. Reading: Conditional Statements GMA Ch 3, Ch 4 We won’t cover all of this exactly, so you don’t need to read this in excruciating detail  Title/Finish Screen: pg 60-61 ‘Next Room’ example: Pg 58-60 Ch 7 (the Koala-BR8 game) is a nice maze game that demonstrates more complicated use of conditionals (It may be helpful to read through for the conditionals) CSS 290 3

  15. And now… the quiz! Download the provided project, and fix/set up the code so that the two bugs do NOT leave the room. The egg/bug must still move to the edge of the screen The must not move beyond it You need to solve this problem using the conditional statements we saw last lecture It’s ok if they move partially off-screen, then stop It’s ok if you only fix this for the particular direction egg/bug are moving in.
