Exploring the Use of Events in Storytelling

CS0

Abstract

Students examine a currently working story that uses multiple events to coordinate a sequence of scenes which feature several different sprites. They gain experience examining the code spread across the stage and multiple sprites to come to conclusions about how the program is coordinated to work together. They demonstrate understanding of this knowledge by expanding the existing program with two additional features of increasing complexity.
