Animate, Debug, and Share Projects

This unit teaches students to build, test, and publish interactive animated programs by combining clone behaviors, movement controls, loops, and user-defined blocks (functions). Students will practice saving, testing, debugging, iterating on enhancements, and sharing their projects publicly while explaining design choices.

Learning Objectives

• Design and implement reusable code blocks (functions) and clone behaviors that control sprite position, direction, and movement using simple repeat loops.
• Apply systematic save, test, and debug workflows to locate, fix, and document coding errors across multiple program versions.
• Develop and enhance interactive program features (for example, explode blocks and animated scenes) through iterative refinement and integration of new blocks.
• Share and present completed programs to peers and public platforms, articulating design decisions and incorporating feedback to improve functionality and user experience.
