Continue building your own Platform Game for ‘Show & Tell’

Our final CoderDojo session is next week. In the final session we will do a ‘Show & Tell’ where you will get to show your project to everyone. This week your task is to make a platform game of your own, based on the project you completed last week. You can start from scratch and build your own platform game or use what you have built last week as a starting point to build your own platform game.

If you were not here last week or just need to refer back to the instructions from last week you can click here.

Raspberry Pi (with Microcontrollers and other cool stuff)

A collaborative group exploring how computers can interact with the outside world through a range of sensors and controllers. Primarily we’ll be using the Raspberry Pi (http://raspberrypi.org) computer in conjunction with Arduinos (http://arduino.cc) and along the way we’ll learn about Python, C and C++ programming, digital and analogue electronics and about working together.
