Week 8

Remember, each week you must complete the weekly quiz, just general questions around what you have been learning on the module. These quizzes are not marked directly but you will get a mark for completing 90% of them.

This week's quiz can be found here: https://go.uwe.ac.uk/cppQuiz

This weeks lecture and slides

Working on

  • Continue getting familiar with a simple development environment
  • Making basic usage of git for version control
  • Starting to write simple expressions and statements to solve problems
  • Understanding variables, literals and common types

Extension: Scratch Challenge

If you have completed worksheet one, please complete the following extension task to explore programming concepts.

  • Your project has at least two sprites, at least one of which must resemble something other than a cat.
  • Your project must have at least three scripts total (i.e., not necessarily three per sprite).
  • Your project must use at least one condition, one loop, and one variable.
  • Your project must use at least one sound.
  • Your project should be more complex than most of those demonstrated in lecture (many of which, though instructive, were quite short) but it can be less complex than some of the ones we looked at online.
  • As such, your project should probably use a few dozen puzzle pieces overall.

Have already completed ...

  • Setup up your own machine for development
  • Understand the basics of git for forking, cloning and pushing code.

If you have not already completed this please do so ASAP.

  • Completed Worksheet 1
  • Attend a face-to-face seminar
  • Attend a face-to-face practical

...you should be able to:

  • Use git to track and manage source files
  • Explore programming concepts with Scratch
