Code Your Own Games
Code, create, and learn—one lesson at a time!
Description
In this personalized 1-on-1 course, your child will dive into more advanced coding. We'll create fun projects like interactive games while building on their current coding skills. Classes are taught in the Python coding language. Watch your child bring their creative ideas to life! Brief Course Outline: Unit 1: Getting Started with Python 🔹 Learn the basics of Python, including setting up the environment, using variables, and printing output. 🔹 Example Project: Create a "Secret Agent Name Generator" that gives users a cool code name based on their input. Unit 2: Data Types and User Input 🔹 Explore different data types, take user input, and process it effectively in programs. 🔹 Example Project: Build a "Superhero Power Selector" that asks for user input and generates a random set of powers. Unit 3: Conditional Statements and Logic 🔹 Understand decision-making with if-elif-else statements and logical operators. 🔹 Example Project: Design a "Zombie Survival Game" where players make choices to escape a zombie outbreak. Unit 4: Loops and Repetition 🔹 Use for and while loops to automate repetitive tasks and improve efficiency. 🔹 Example Project: Develop an "Infinite Runner" game where a character dodges obstacles. Unit 5: Functions and Modular Code 🔹 Learn to create reusable code with functions, parameters, and return values. 🔹 Example Project: Create a "Battle Simulator" where players choose warriors to fight in a turn-based battle. Unit 6: Lists and Data Structures 🔹 Work with lists to store, retrieve, and manipulate data efficiently. 🔹 Example Project: Build a "Monster Collector" game where users capture and manage a team of monsters. Unit 7: Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) 🔹 Understand the basics of classes and objects to structure programs effectively. 🔹 Example Project: Design a "Car Racing Game" where players customize cars and compete in a race. Unit 8: File Handling and Data Persistence 🔹 Read from and write to files to store and manage data across program runs. 🔹 Example Project: Create a "Treasure Hunt Adventure" where players save progress as they search for hidden treasure. Unit 9: Final Project 🔹 Apply all learned concepts to design, develop, and present an independent coding project. 🔹 Example Project: Students create their own unique game, simulator, or interactive story using Python
