[heading size=”1″ color=”#80D6F9″]Session 3[/heading] That was quite something, wasn’t it? Our first proper coding experience – there will be many, don’t you worry! We would like to go back to scratch and make an interactive musical instrument. You will be able to choose your sounds, to record your sounds (laptops permitting), choose the backgrounds, animate

[heading size=”1″ color=”#80D6F9″]Session 3[/heading] Ok, we have just learnt what Friction and Inertia do to materials, quite interesting! Below, a new challenge, this is about gravity, the force which attracts our body to the grounds (this is why we fall!!!). Use the right and left arrows to move, and SPACEBAR to change the direction of

Session 3a

[heading size=”1″ color=”#80D6F9″]Session 3[/heading] Wow, that gave us a scare!! It’s very fast and very challenging, huh? Let’s see what else we can play, before we delve into the programming of today. This videogame talks about friction. Let’s play it a little, and then try to come up with a definition. What happened once you

Session 2d

[heading size=”1″ color=”#80D6F9″]Fancy a Challenge?[/heading] Each sound is generated by a vibration, some are simple, some complex. Thanks to the piezo, we are able to explore a variety of waves (Sine, Triangular, Square, Pulse). Why don’t you try and listen to these waves by using: Randomizer > Wave > Voltage Output Also, try to change
