1. Songs

   • Anything I Do - CLiQ ft. Ms Banks and Alika
     • Positives - The song was catchy. Therefore, that made the song somewhat enjoyable to dance to as the lyrics and the melody of the song was not boresome.
     • Negatives - The dance choreography was very hard (the Difficulty was Extreme and Effort is Intense) making the song hard to keep up and stopping us from enjoying the game.
   • Sweet But Psycho - Ava Max
     • Positives - The dance choreography was not hard or easy (the difficulty is Medium and the Effort is Moderate) therefore it has suitable complexity allowing us to enjoy the song to the finest. The song was also very catchy allowing us to enjoy dancing to it.
     • Negatives: The lyrics to the song were a bit too repetitive. This made the dance a bit tedious as the same moves were done over and over agin.
   • Therefore I am - Billie Eilish
     • Negatives - The dance choreography was very easy (the difficulty is Easy and the effort is chill), therefore making the song too easy and less fun for us as it was too easy to complete.
     • Positives - The song was catchy. Therefore, that made the song somewhat enjoyable to dance to as the lyrics and the melody of the song was not boresome.

3. Prescribed Criteria

   • Develop an Algorithm using Pseudocode conventions
     • Requirements
       • Keywords must be bold and capitalised
       • Indention must be used to show structure
       • Algorithm must be valid
       • Must use Algorithm constructs
       • End multi-line sections with an end keyword, i.e. ENDIF, ENDWHILE.
   • Use only a verse or chorus from the chosen song to develop the algorithm
     • The Sweet But Psycho chorus/verse will only be used: "Oh, she's sweet but a psycho. A little bit psycho. At night, she's screamin' "I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind." Oh, she's hot but a psycho. So left but she's right though. At night, she's screamin' "I'm-ma-ma-ma out my mind."
   • Develop an algorithm for an easy, medium, hard or extreme song
     • Document dance moves
     • Write an algorithm

4. Algorithm Constructs

   • Sequence
     • A sequence is a series of instructions are placed in order, one after the other. It is very important that the steps are performed in the correct order, or the algorithm will malfunction. An example of this is: twist bottle lid, lift bottle lid, place bottle lid away, pour water into bottle, place bottle lid on bottle, twist bottle lid.
   • Assignment (Using Variables)
     • Assignment is where a name is used to represent a value. Assignment is also known as variables. The value can be a word or a number. The assignment is stated at the start of the algorithm. Then this is used throughout the algorithm instead of the original value. Assignment in an algorithm would look like this: START, DECLARE Favorite Pizza Topping, SET Favorite Pizza Topping TO pepperoni, END
   • Selection and Condition
     • A condition is used in a selection statement to know which line is used next in the program. It needs to see which condition is true to then use the next line to generate the output. For example: START, IF food = warm THEN, eat, ELSE heat in microwave and eat, END. The condition is the food being warm. The selection determines if the food is warm and plays the next line, therefore if the food is warm, then eat, if not, warm it and then eat.
   • Iteration
     • Iteration is where some part of the algorithm is ordered to repeat so the result goes in a loop. Key words that are used in iteration are WHILE, REPEAT and FOR statements. Two types of iterations are FOR loops and WHILE loops. FOR loops are used when the exact number of times needed to complete an action is known, such the number slices of bread for one sandwich you would need to lay down. This in an algorithm would be: START, FOR 2 times, Take 1 slice of bread from the loaf, Lay it down, ENDFOR, END. WHILE loops are used to repeat the code for as long as the criteria is true. An example of that would be to write for as long as the pencil is sharp. This is an algorithm would be: START, WHILE pencil is sharp, Write, ENDWHILE, END.

5. Just Dance Video Game

   • Just Dance is a popular rhythm-based dance video game franchise developed and published by Ubisoft. The game requires players to mimic dance moves displayed on the screen, following the beat of popular music tracks. Just Dance features a large library of songs spanning various genres and decades, and new songs are frequently added to the game through downloadable content. The game is typically played with a motion controller, such as a Wii Remote or a PlayStation Move, and can be enjoyed by players of all ages and skill levels. The franchise has been very successful, with multiple installments released for various gaming platforms, including Wii, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
