Discoveries: Unit 3 Chapter 2 15 - 18 Review

Program

• Attributes that describe an object's characteristics
• A graphic character on the screen with properties that describe its location, movement, and look.
• An algorithm that has been coded into something that can be run by a machine.
• A placeholder for a piece of information that can change.

Parameter

• An extra piece of information that you pass to the function to customize it for a specific need.
• The common programming structure that implements "conditional statements".
• the rate at which frames in an animation are shown, typically measured in frames per second
• Pulling out specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems.

Sprite

• A graphic character on the screen with properties that describe its location, movement, and look.
•  A placeholder for a piece of information that can change.
• Attributes that describe an object's characteristics

Animation 

• The common programming structure that implements "conditional statements".
•  a series of images that create the illusion of motion by being shown rapidly one after the other
• A graphic character on the screen with properties that describe its location, movement, and look.
• Pulling out specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems

Frame Rate

• the rate at which frames in an animation are shown, typically measured in frames per second
• Pulling out specific differences to make one solution work for multiple problems.
• A graphic character on the screen with properties that describe its location, movement, and look.
• A placeholder for a piece of information that can change.

Frame

• a single image within an animation
• Finding and fixing problems in your algorithm or program.
• the rate at which frames in an animation are shown, typically measured in frames per second
• in programming, an expression that evaluates to True or False.
