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 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.
