     • Algorithm valid and is able to run
   • Develop a high damage finishing offensive strategy to eliminate opponent

   • Assignment
     • Assign value to a space called variable
   • Select and Condition
     • The decision making process that run different set of codes based on the situation given

     • Repeating lines of codes multiple times

6. Character moves

   • Kirby

     • Forward aerial: when in the air, kirby kick three times toward the front
     • Down aerial: when in the air, kirby spin kick and go down to where player aims
     • up aerial: when in the air, kirby backflip and move its feet wile backflip. Doing wide angle attack
     • back aerial: when in the air, kirby spin and kick toward its back
     • Forward throw: kirby grab the opponent and throw it towards the front
