Today was once again Programming but instead of the usual
this time John was focused on teaching us about the program life cycle and a
simpler approach to programming code. To start off with we loaded up a program
called scratch, this was a simple introduction to creating a game. John gave us
a task to create a PAC man game using the instructions in the word document he
provided. I had seen a bit of this before during an open day that I stayed and
helped with when I was doing the Hardware with Jack, so I had an
idea of what to expect. However before the task begun, John mentioned that
this had been given to year 6s and they managed to finish it in an hour so he
gave us about 30 minutes to complete the task. I found it rather easy and quite
enjoyable at certain parts, I did not need any help from anyone but I had to
help Dan when he got a little stuck. I understand why John gave us this task;
to ease some of us into programming who don't fully understand how programming
works.
After break John gave us another task to do as we had all completed the first task. this task was to research about and into the program life cycle. we collect some information and a diagram and shared what we knew about it from what we had collected.
Today was a good day and enjoyed what we did. I learnt about programs life cycle and how a program starts off and how it ends up.
