Coding & Programming: Invader Defense
Watch out! It’s a shark attack! In Invader Defense: Shark Attack, we will create our own version of an invader defense game that will allow us to protect a coral reef from hungry sharks. We will use the Engineering Design Process to create a storyboard and outline the rules of play for our game. Then we will program the game to bring our storyboard to life with programming. At the end of the class, everyone takes home a working Windows-compatible game.
