Interactive Animation and Games Lesson 1-4

Front

When applying the Problem Solving Process to animation and game design, what would most likely happen during the 'Define' step?

Back

Deciding what you want to make an animation about or who you want to make it for

Front

A student is working on a word search and realizes their current strategy isn't working, so they switch to a different approach. Which step of the Problem Solving Process does this demonstrate?

Back

Reflect - evaluating and adjusting their approach

Front

Why is it important for app designers to consider their target users before creating an animation or game?

Back

Different users have different needs, preferences, and abilities that should influence design decisions.

Front

During the 'Prepare' step of designing an animation or game, which activity would be most beneficial? Options: Defining what problem you're trying to solve, Researching similar animations and games to understand design patterns, Immediately starting to code the final product, Asking users to test the finished product

Back

Researching similar animations and games to understand design patterns

Front

What is the main advantage of sketching out an animation or game design on paper before programming it?

Back

It allows you to plan and visualize ideas before investing time in coding.

Front

A student creates an animation but realizes it doesn't meet their user's needs after getting feedback. What should they do next according to the Problem Solving Process?

Back

Use the feedback to improve and iterate on their design

Front

What makes the Problem Solving Process cyclical rather than linear when designing animations and games?

Back

You may need to return to earlier steps and repeat parts of the process based on what you learn.

Front

What is a bug in programming?

Back

Part of a program that does not work correctly

Front

Which of the following best describes debugging? Options: Writing the first draft of a program, Deleting parts of a program to make it shorter, Finding and fixing problems in an algorithm or program, Copying code from another project

Back

Finding and fixing problems in an algorithm or program

Front

A program can best be described as:

Back

An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine
