Lesson 1 – Introduction to Kodu

Step 1: - A computer game needs:

● A character that reacts in ● A good plot
certain ways. ● Interesting places
● A world in which the character ● Interesting side characters
exists. ● A antagonist
● Objects that we can interact
with.

Item 2: -World- It’s important you need somewhere to play the game.
Item 3: - Objects-It’s important so you have a purpose to do something in
the game.

Step 3: - Explain why computers need precise instructions

They need precise instructions so they can know exactly what to do so they
don’t do something different.

Experimenting with Kodu – You now have some time to practice

programming using Kodu.
Step 5: - Add in objects such as castles.
Step 6: - Using Kodu, change the way an object looks. Make it bigger or
smaller

Step 7: - Using Kodu change an objects settings.

Step 8: - Code a character to move when the control or keyboard is used
