Coding Final Quiz

Choose the best answer: Why is the order of the code important?

• We always read things from left to right and from up downwards. Code is the same.

• The code is drawn in the order it is listed. If you aren't careful, some of your objects may not be visible.

• It is not important.

• Using the same order each time is more consistent, and makes your code more readable.

A Sprite is:

• A graphic character on the screen with properties that describe it.

•  A placeholder for a piece of information that can change.

• Attributes that describe an object's characteristics

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

What are the rules you need to follow when naming variables?

• Variables need to be the same as the name of the animation image.

• Variables cannot include spaces or begin with a number. Variables must be spelled consistently. Variables are case sensitive.

• Variables should always start with a number & should contain at least 3 special symbols.

• Variables should be all CAPS and be at least 8 letters long. We can use the same name for more than one variable as long as they are more than 6 lines apart.

Animation is:

• The common programming structure that implements "conditional statements".

• a series of images shown rapidly with incremental changes to create the illusion of motion.

• 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

A variable is:

• 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".

•  Attributes that describe an object's characteristics

•  A "container" for a value or piece of information that can change.

What are Control Statements?

• Code blocks that change what the code displays when a condition is met or while something is true.

•  Attributes that describe an object's characteristics

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

• Part of a program that does not work correctly.

In coding, what does Debugging mean?

• Finding and fixing problems in code.

• Statements that only run under certain conditions.

• Any valid unit of code that resolves to a value.

• Part of a program that does not work correctly.

To create animations, you need a way to keep drawing frame after frame. In Game Lab, this is done using the ___________.

• loop function

• repeat function

• animate function

• draw function

Where would you find the mouse & keyboard input blocks in Game Lab?

• In the Sprite Toolbox

• In the Drawing Toolbox

• In the Functions Toolbox

• In the World Toolbox

What does sprite.isTouching(target) do?

• Rotates the sprite towards the target

• Moves the sprite towards the target

• Checks if the sprite is touching the target

• Bounces the sprite off the target
