Coding Games in Scratch [平裝] [08--12] 下載 mobi epub pdf 電子書 2024

內容簡介

Did you know that Bill Gates， cofounder of Microsoft， wrote his first computer program—a tic-tac-toe game—at age 13? Coding Games in Scratch shows how kids can start coding their own games， too， using Scratch， a popular free programming language.

With Coding Games in Scratch， kids can build single and multiplayer platform games， create puzzles and memory games， race through mazes， add animation， and more. Essential coding concepts are explained using eight build-along game projects that guide young coders step-by-step， using visual samples， easy-to-follow instructions， and fun pixel art.

Written for children ages 8–12 with little to no coding experience， Coding Games in Scratch teaches important strategies for solving problems， designing projects， and communicating ideas， all while creating games to play with their friends.

Supporting STEM education initiatives， computer coding teaches kids how to think creatively， work collaboratively， and reason systematically， and is quickly becoming a necessary and sought-after skill. DK's computer coding books are full of fun exercises with step-by-step guidance， making them the perfect introductory tools for building vital skills in computer programming.
