Interactive Game Capstone Project

This unit guides students through planning, building, testing, and publishing a complete interactive game using block-based coding (MakeCode/Scratch). Students will combine flowchart design, variables, event-driven controls, sound, user interface improvements, debugging, and sharing to prepare for further study or real-world maker projects.

Learning Objectives

• Analyze flowcharts and project plans to map program structure into backdrops, sprites, events, and variables for an interactive game
• Apply event-driven and control blocks, variables (timers, dents), and input handling to implement responsive robot and asteroid behaviors
• Demonstrate systematic testing and debugging by saving versions, identifying and fixing errors, and validating program behavior across scenarios
• Evaluate and improve the user experience by adding sound, refining the user interface, enhancing visuals, and preparing the project for sharing or physical integration
