Topic: Explore! What is a computer program? What purposes do they have?
Step 1: Explore and play each game on the arcade from the coding club of 2015. As you play, ask yourself: What is effective? What is ineffective?
Step 2: Head over to the Scratch Site. There are lots of user-created games there! Play some of them! Also, click on the "See Inside!" link to check out the code that makes them go. Change some of it. What happens??
Step 3: Click this link here. What genres (kinds) of video games are there? Can we compile a full list of game-types?
Step 4: Think about Genre! What genre of game can you make, with the theme of Survival V. Extinction? Keep thinking about this, when you get to module 7, we'll start building our own games! (And yes, you can start early at your house!)
