| UT.CC.1.2a | Students deconstruct a task into an algorithm (simple steps). |
| UT.CC.1.2b | Students write an algorithm as pseudocode. |
| UT.CC.1.3 | Students demonstrate knowledge of the development process: 1) Planning, 2) Designing, 3) Build, 4) Test, 5) Publish |
| UT.CC.2.1a | Student will explore genres of computer games: action, adventure, role-playing (RPG), simulation, strategy, hybrid |
| UT.CC.2.1b | Students will demonstrate knowledge of player perspectives: First Person, Third Person, Top-Down, 2D, 3D |
| UT.CC.2.1c | Students will demonstrate knowledge of the elements of a computer game: characters, storyline, strategy, danger, rewards |
| UT.CC.2.1d | Students will regularly include #comments for the purpose of explaining, organizing, instructing, and ascribing. |
| UT.CC.2.2a | Students will define a sprite and identify the types of sprites used in a game: character, background, text, static, animated, player/hero, enemy, obstacles, projectiles, food, rewards |
| UT.CC.2.2b | Students will create unique variables for each sprite |
| UT.CC.2.2c | Students will apply gaming coordinate system knowledge to intentionally position sprites |
| UT.CC.2.2d | Students will demonstrate knowledge of sprite properties by controlling them with arguments in the code. (i.e. size, color, position) |
| UT.CC.2.3a | Students will use loops to code iterations in a game. (i.e. spinning, shrinking, growing, positioning) |
| UT.CC.2.3b | Students will write code to control a sprite's velocity, acceleration or gravity. |
| UT.CC.2.3c | Students will create a sprite animation and use it in a game (i.e. frame by frame, looping) |
| UT.CC.2.4a | Students will code events to allow the user to interact with a game. (i.e. mouse click, keystroke) |
| UT.CC.2.4b | Students will code conditionals to create collision events (i.e. score, lives) |
| UT.CC.2.4c | Students will incorporate user input in a game (i.e. guessing a number, choosing an adventure, madlibs) |
| UT.CC.2.5a | Students will write code to randomize behaviors in a game. (i.e. sprite images, position, color and size) |
| UT.CC.2.5b | Students will control randomization with ranges in code. |
| UT.CC.2.6a | Students will create and call functions to customize a game. |
| UT.CC.2.6b | Students will write code to enhance the user: exoerience, creative openers/endings, backgrounds (static/scrolling), timer, sound/music |
| UT.CC.2.7 | Students will participate independently or collaboratively in the development of a computer game that incorporates a development process and applies concepts learned throughout the course. |
