Key Stage 3 ICT
Lesson 2 - Programming
Starter
• Start Kodu.
• Re-familiarise yourself with how it works.
• Play some of the pre-made games.
• Try and change some code and see what it does.
• In 5 minutes, I will ask you what Kodu is, how it works and
what a game is made up of.
Objectives
• Become familiar with Kodu Programming.
• Understand what is meant by WHEN:DO sequences.
• Know what a KODU game is made up of.
Demonstration
Programming an object (tutorials)
Testing your code
Objects
• These are the different objects that can exist in your game.
Understanding Programming
• Your game is made up of OBJECTS.
Different objects have different things
• Each object can have up to 12 pages of
code. These are the different STATES.
• Each page (or state), can have up to 7
SCORES (lines of code).
• A line of code is based around WHEN
DO (see next slide).
WHEN: DO (What do these SCORES do?)
Further: WHEN: DO (What do these SCORES do?)
A thing or two about OBJECTS
An object has:
PROPERTIES: Characteristics (size, invisible, damage etc).
BEHAVIOURS: Things it can do (see, hear, bump)
ACTIONS: Things it can perform (move, launch, glow)
Task: Tutorials
• Today you are going to work through some programming
tutorials.
• You are going to try and solve them, as well as attempt to
extend the game play by adding what the tutorials suggest.
• Let’s have a quick look at each of them:
Tutorial 1 (Level 4)
• he object of the challenge is
to change the Kodu
character’s instructions to
that it moves towards the
castle.
• Modifying the code will allow
you to achieve a level 4A-5C
in this task.
Tutorial 2 (Level 4-5)
• The challenge is to
make the biker jump
instead of shoot (level
4).
• If you can then extend
the program to do what
Kodu suggests, this can
gain you a level 5A – 6C
in this task.
Tutorial 3 (Level 5-7)
• The challenge here is to
make the biker, pick up an
apple and take it to the
bridge.
• If you can add something
else to this code you could
achieve up to a Level 7 if it
is:
– Efficient
– Structured
– Something you have done
without teacher assistance.
Your Task
• Complete each of the three tutorials in Kodu.
• After completing each one (before you move on to the next one), you
need to:
• Screenshot your code which you added (display your code and press
PRINT SCREEN).
• Paste this into the template and explain what you did and whether you
were successful.
• RM Shared  BITE  ICT KS3  Year 9  Kodu Games Design  Lesson
2  Tutorial Evidence Sheet.docx
Objectives Review
• Become familiar with Kodu Programming.
• Understand what is meant by WHEN:DO sequences.
• Know what a KODU game is made up of.
Plenary
• Kodu Challenge Review
• Let’s go through each tutorial.
• Volunteers, with support from the class, will program each
one to check our solutions on the interactive whiteboard.
• Challenge? Each volunteer has 60 seconds maximum to
complete the solution and test it.
Homework
• Next lesson you will be beginning to design your game.
• Complete the game planning sheet.
• This is ESSENTIAL you do this for homework.
• Stuck? Lost Sheet? Access it online or see me for another
sheet before next lesson.
