Lets play this game and post your progress here. You can play the game here: Hour of AI Activities
The objective is to get as far as you can. What this game does is gives you a user interface where you drag and drop objects, and it builds the code for you in the background which you can see too. Post your progress and code here and enter a chance get personalized tech support from us geeks.
A very cool initiative. Getting all the kids in the world to code for an hour and showing them what they did. The goal was to get 10 million kids to try an hour of code that turned into a major cause. The video below should explain more but I m very proud right now to choose this as my career.
Also, found out that there are some games that kids can play to put blocks together, which would generate the code for it in the background. Its using Angry Birds which is recognized by almost all the kids today. I was playing it and here is some of the code it generated for me:
Congratulations! You completed Puzzle 9. (However, you could have used only 3 blocks.)
You just wrote 8 lines of code!
All-time total: 41 lines of code.
The blocks for your program can also be represented in JavaScript, the world's most widely adopted programming language:
for (var count = 0; count < 2; count++) {
moveForward();
}
turnRight();
for (var count2 = 0; count2 < 2; count2++) {
moveForward();
}
turnRight();
for (var count3 = 0; count3 < 2; count3++) {
moveForward();
}
re: Game Challenge - Hour of Code - Angry Birds and Zombies
Today I was listening on a talk show that 80% of programmers don't have the right skills to score a job in current market . They are just too lazy to learn new technologies . May be its time for them to get themselves involve.
