Coding Lesson 1-7

rectangle: rect(x, y, w, h)

ellipse: ellipse(x, y, w, h)

x=distance to the right of the origin

y=distance down from the origin

w=width of the shape

h=height of the shape

Polygons can be created by using multiple sets of coordinates.

For a triangle, it would look like this: (x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3) where each set represents a point on the coordinate grid.

You must create a variable to use it.

For example, to create the variable "school", we would first create it like this: var school

Then we need to give it a starting value. So we could add the two together into one step like this: var school = 100

Variables save storage space in our programs.

Another way to add to a program is to create a random number.

To do this, you need to create this code: randomNumber (min, max)

The min is the minimum number that you want to be included.

The max is the maximum number that you want to be included.

To change the thickness of a border, you need to declare it.

To do this, you use the code: strokeWeight()

The parentheses will be filled with a number.

If you leave it blank, you will get no border.

Use the code, fill(color).

Choose what color you want to have inside of it.

Place this code before the shape that you have created.

It will continue to use this color until you create a new fill(color).

point= point(x, y)

line= line(x1, y1, x2, y2) where these represent two sets of ordered pairs.

arc= arc(x, y, w, h, start, stop) The start and stop are the two angles within the arc.

0 degrees=to the right

90 degrees= down

180 degrees= left

270 degrees= up

If you do not want shapes filled in, use the code: nofill()

There are so many colors to choose from when you are creating your games.

Spend time learning the code.

You will be adding to these concepts.

You will use it for your summative.

You will be graded.

To choose colors: https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html

A character on the screen with properties that describe its location, movement, and look.

Create them first:

var sprite = createSprite(x,y)

Property - A label for a characteristic of a sprite, such as its location and appearance.

To choose a different sprite, use this code:

sprite.setAnimation(label)

There are a lot to choose from in Game Lab.
