STEM video game challenge

STEM video game challenge

1. task requirements

   • use multiple colours
     • Use more than one colour.
   • use multiple types of graphic functions
     • Use a circle, rectangle and a line.
     • A variety of different graphic functions should be utilised to enhance the viewers perspective of the audience.
     • The image should contain a variety of graphic functions which create a coherent setting.
   • create a coherent picture related to the STEM Video Games theme
     • the content of the image should be related to the concepts required by the STEM Video Game theme.
     • the user should be able to understand what the picture is displaying.
     • The picture must have a star.
   • create three functions that draw something
     • Functions should be able to construct something visible (e.g. a circle).
   • create a coherent animation related to the STEM video Game theme
     • The picture should be coherent and concise – not abstract.
   • use FOR loops to create and position multiple items
     • Position items using FOR loops.
   • animate at least two aspects of this drawing
     • two aspects of image should move on when the code is run.

2. developer problems
