The "A Better Scene" Project is an extension of the Captioned Scenes project that was created in Lesson 10: Mini-Project: Captioned Scenes from the Unit 3: Interactive Animations and Games unit from the Computer Science Discoveries curriculum.

At the end of Lesson 10 you should have created a simple (static) animation with some captioned text (like you would see in a comic strip).

For this project extension you will add new coding structures to create an improved version of your captioned scene. What coding structures you add is up to you but your additions must improve the scene in some way.

This project extension will be completed as a mini-project (rather than a full project) which means that we won't do a formal programming journal nor will we complete any peer evaluations as part of the project. You will just submit a final draft when you are finished.

1. Login to Code.org

2. Navigate to Lesson 10 from the Interactive Animations and Games unit and find the level that contains your final Captioned Scene project.

3. There are are two buttons at the top of your GameLab project window: SHARE and REMIX.

4. Select the REMIX button. This will make a new copy of your project and add it to your list of projects in Code.org.

5. On the top menu bar of your REMIXED project, click on the RENAME option and rename your file using the following naming convention:

ProjectName Version Semester LastName, First Name

Here are the details for this project:

• ProjectName = A Better Scene

• Version = V.2.0.0

• Semester = F22 (for Fall 2022. If it is not longer Fall of 2022, make the appropriate change (F22, F23, etc.) to the code for your semester.)

• LastName = [yourlastname]

• FirstName = [yourfirstname]

If I was naming this project for myself, it would look like this:

ABetterSceneProject V.2.0.0 F22 Cross, John

Your name should look exactly like mine except it should have YOUR name at the end (not my name).

Now you are ready to continue the rest of your build.

Add a new coding structure(s) to improve your scene.

Remember, you can add anything you like but whatever you add should be both an addition to what you originally had AND an improvement over your original scene.

[Hidden]

Be sure you include multiline comments at the begging of your code that include the following:

• Name

• Date

• Semester (F22, S23, etc.)

• And a description of the new elements you incorporated into your project extension.

Review the project requirements and make sure you have all the necessary elements for your submission:

1. Is everything working properly?

2. Does the new coding structure(s) you added to the scene make an obvious improvement from the original?

Make sure you are aware of the DUE DATES and DEADLINES for your final submission. All DUE DATE and DEADLINE information will be posted in the Daily Class Announcements.

Use the Class Projects: Submission Forms page to submit your final project.
