In the last C#/Unity coding class, we started class by discussing Finite State Machines, which can be used to keep track of a game’s state. We then started to make our first project, a clone of the 1976 arcade classic, Breakout. We added font and image assets, learned to use Gimp for image editing, and created our first menu screen by adding a button. Next time we’ll start adding C# to the project so the menu will be interactive.
In today's coding class, we continued building our Brain Game. They learned to create functions (a major concept in programming) so they can reuse stacks of blocks.
In last Friday's kids coding class, the kids designed and built their first computer program. They learned that programs are simple lists of instructions.
In today's JavaScript coding class, we learned about Boolean Algebra so that we could do some complex decision making in our Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock game. 
In today's JavaScript coding class, we learned about the Switch statement. It allows you to compare one expression to a list of other expressions. It works similarly to an If statement, but is shorter for this use case. We will finish our Rock Paper Scissors project next week with some polish.
In Tuesday's Kids JavaScript class, we continued to develop our Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock game. We added a keydown handler and discussed ASCII and Unicode.
In yesterday's JavaScript coding class we added an animation to our madlibs page using a loop made with a recursive function.
In Tuesday's JavaScript class, we started to design a Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock game. We also did a refresher in all of the types of variables you can have in JS.
