JavaScript Game Lab

About This Class

Code Pong, Snake, Hangman, and a dinosaur runner, then put your games to the test! Campers will use JavaScript, a text-based language used to make websites interactive, to write code that responds to a player’s actions. Rock-Paper-Scissors adds another opponent to challenge, while a paint app and chatbot respond to drawings and typed messages. They’ll also create a website of their own. Running each project reveals what works and what needs another look; a small code change might alter a game’s rules or fix an unexpected result. Campers should be comfortable using a keyboard. Bring a snack and drink for class breaks. Bring a USB drive on the last day to save your projects.
