Problem Set: Extensions
This section contains a number of selected problems for the Extensions section.
It is recommended that you review the problems, and complete a few before moving on to the next section.
Problem #1: Jump Around
Corgio is much more fun when the corgi can jump around.
Add a ||corgio:Corgio|| into the game.
Use the ||corgio:verticalMovement|| function to allow the user to make
the ||corgio:Corgio|| jump up and down.
Problem #2: A Learning Experience
Programming can be thought of as teaching a computer to complete a task.
In this problem, you will teach the computer to ||corgio:teach|| a
||corgio:Corgio|| different words.
Add a ||corgio:Corgio|| into the game, and store it in the variable ||variables:myCorg||.
Teach it the following words using ||corgio:myCorg.addToScript||:
- “Howdy”
- “Partner”
- “Ruff”
- “Hello World”
Make the ||corgio:Corgio|| ||corgio:bark|| using ||corgio:myCorg.bark||.
Add a ||loops:loop|| to make it bark 10 times, with a 1000 ms ||loops:pause||
between each ||corgio:bark||.
Problem #3: Conceited Corgi
Corgis need a lot of attention.
Create a ||corgio:Corgio||, and make it move horizontally and update the sprite as it moves.
Set a new background image using ||scene:scene.backgroundImage||.
Finally, use the ||corgio:follow|| function to make the camera
follow the ||corgio:Corgio||.
Problem #4: Multiplayer Mayhem
Games are better when you play with others.
Import the ||controller:local-multiplayer|| extension.
Use the ||controller:controller.setPlayerSprite|| and
||controller:controller.controlPlayer|| functions to make a game
that allows two players to move sprites around the screen.
Problem #5: Time Your Throw
Import the ||darts:darts|| extension.
Use to ||darts:darts.create|| a dart called ||variables:myDart||.
Use the ||darts:myDart.setTrace|| and ||darts:myDart.controlWithArrowKeys||
functions to allow the player to control the ||darts:dart||.
||loops:Pause|| for 10,000 ms (10 seconds), and then use
||darts:myDart.throwDart|| to throw the dart.
