Lesson #12

Sensing and Sounds

Today we look at some basic ways of using sensing and sounds to enhance your games. The blocks are cyan in color and are used to detect different factors in a project. These blocks are used to identify and measure how objects within a project are interacting with each other or to detect certain keyboard and mouse movements. Happy Coding!

Learning Intentions

I can use the sensing blocks to develop my online game.

Success Criteria

I can apply sensing to my programming.
I can add sounds to my programming.
I can code multiple sprites.
I can hide a sprite

Introduction

Use the Sensing document (right) to discuss some of the blocks that will be highlighted in today's lesson.

Questions

Can we think of any examples of how these blocks would be applied to our games or exisiting games we have played?
