Coding is used to tell computers what to do through written instructions. It is used for websites, games, apps, programming, and more. Understanding coding gives insight into how the digital world works. The document discusses coding skills needed for game development like attention to detail, patience, curiosity, and creativity. It notes that GameMaker uses its own language called GML. The lesson tasks students to code a lives and score system in their platformer game using GML by watching a tutorial video and applying the skills.

An introduction to (coding)
{
Scripting in GML
}

What is coding?
Coding is a way of telling the computer to do something.
Simply put, it is a set of written instructions, for example;
If (lives==0)
{
GameRestart=True
}

What do we use coding for?
Websites
Games
App development
Programming
Hardware development support
The list goes on and on

Why do you need to learn coding?
We live in a digital world; much of our everyday lives are
spent interacting with the “web of things” and coding is the
magic that makes all of these things work.
Whether you want to work as a programmer or not,
understanding what code is will give you a better
understanding of how the world around you is working.

How important a skill is coding if you want to work in
the games industry? Why is this?

Programmers are the people who write code. What
skills does a good programmer need?
Attention to detail (otherwise things will go wrong)
Patience (it takes a lot of patience to figure out where you went wrong, and
how to fix it)
Curiosity (programmers always need to learn new languages)
Creativity (for figuring out a solution to a new problem or implementing your
ideas in new ways)

What coding language does GameMaker use?
GameMaker has its own programming language, GML, created by the
programmer Mark Overmars.
Games be made completely using GML.

In todays lesson
You will be using GML to create a lives and score system, rather than using the
drag and drop system we used for the top down shooter.

By the end of the workshop, you
MUST code simple lives & score systems in Game Maker
Language
SHOULD code the destruction of an object in Game Maker
Language
COULD experiment with your code to change how the lives,
score and collision systems work in your game level.

Task 1
Log onto Moodle and open up the week 2 tutorial for the
platformer series.
Watch the video and learn how to code the lives and score
system.
Apply this knowledge to your platformer level.
Play with the code; see what works and what doesn’t.

End of lesson quiz
What is coding?
What problems did you encounter?
How could you work towards solving these problems?
Hands up who added their lives system?
Hands up who added a score system?
Hands up who added a simple enemy?
Hands up who had more than three lives?

Programming is an amazing skill.
Where can learning programming take you?

What is an algorithm?Angela DeHart

An algorithm is a set of steps to accomplish a specific task or solve a problem. It has a well-defined sequence of steps, will produce an output, and will eventually terminate. An algorithm describes the precise steps to solve a computational procedure from an input to an output in a finite number of steps. Examples of algorithms include step-by-step directions for driving to a friend's house or brushing your teeth.

ProgrammingLeo Simon Anfone

This document provides an overview of programming concepts such as what programming is, programming languages, how to write programs, and key elements of programs like variables, functions, loops, and decisions. Specifically: - Programming involves writing instructions for a computer to accomplish tasks, using programming languages that the computer can understand. Programs must be compiled or interpreted before running. - Pseudocode and flowcharts are used to plan programs by listing steps in plain English or using graphic symbols. Variables store data, and functions perform sub-tasks. Loops and decisions allow programs to repeat actions and make choices. - Debugging fixes errors by testing programs step-by-step. Key symbols represent starting, input/output,

Introduction of c programmingTarun Sharma

C is a general purpose, high-level programming language that was developed in the 1970s. It is widely used to create operating systems and is the precursor to many popular languages today. C code is compiled into machine-readable code that can be run on different computer systems. C has features like control structures, looping statements, arrays, and macros that make it well-suited for both business and scientific applications. It is commonly used to write operating systems like UNIX, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.

Programming Fundamental Slide No.1Arslan Hussain

This document discusses different types of programming languages including machine language, assembly language, and high-level languages. It explains that machine language is directly understood by computers using binary, while assembly language uses symbols translated by an assembler. High-level languages like COBOL, FORTRAN and BASIC are easier for humans to read and are compiled into machine language. Compilers translate entire high-level programs at once, while interpreters translate and execute one statement at a time.

Introduction to computer programmingNSU-Biliran Campus

This document provides an introduction to computer programming. It discusses that a computer program is a list of instructions that the computer follows to accept input, process it, and present results. Programming is both an art and a science. Programs fall into application programs, which perform functions for users, and operating systems, which manage computer resources. A programmer uses a text editor to write source code in a programming language, which is then translated into machine-readable object code by compilers, interpreters, or assemblers. The document then describes the basic parts of a computer and operating system functions. It also discusses high-level programming languages and provides a basic example program in C.

Programming FundamentalsTrivuz ত্রিভুজ

For most programming/scripting languages the concepts are all the same. The only thing that changes is the syntax in which it is written. Some languages may be easier to remember than others, but if you follow the basic guide line, it will make learning any programming language easier. This is in no way supposed to teach you everything about programming, just a general knowledge so when you do program you will understand what you are doing a little bit better.

Computer Language TranslatorRanjeet Kumar

The document discusses different types of language translators including compilers, interpreters, and assemblers. A language translator converts source code into object code that computers can understand. Compilers convert an entire program into object code at once, while interpreters convert code line-by-line. Compilers are generally faster but require more memory, and errors are detected after compilation. Interpreters are slower but use less memory and can detect errors as they interpret each line.

The document introduces programming and the C++ language. It explains that a program is a set of instructions given to a computer in a programming language to perform tasks. High-level languages like C++ were created because computers only understand binary and it is impossible for humans to program in binary. The document then covers the anatomy of a simple "Hello World" C++ program, including main functions, header files, output statements, strings, and terminators. It concludes by explaining how C++ source code is compiled into machine code and executed.

Language translatorasmakh89

The document discusses three programming language translators: assemblers translate assembly language into machine code, compilers translate high-level languages into executable object code, and interpreters execute instructions one at a time without producing an executable file. Assemblers convert mnemonics to machine language equivalents and assign addresses, compilers check syntax and generate all code at once, and interpreters check keywords and convert instructions individually to machine code.

Assignment on Corporate Legal Issuesemilyparker01

Negligence, in law, is a breach of a legal duty. This law has its roots primarily from the Tortious liability. This becomes evident whenever there is a breach of a duty. Such parameters are set up by the law towards persons with an action of breach leading to un-liquidated damages. Inherent Province of the Law of Tort (1931) (Richard Smellie 2002) “Tort” originated from the Medieval Latin word “tortum” meaning, something twisted. It has high implications for a civil wrong leading to injury and arising mainly because of failure to act. The law ensures that action for damages is brought, and is independent of any contract. Simply negligence is a careless act of failure to impart, due care and required attention or concern. Thus negligence has fixed legal duties imposed by law. It is based out of conduct, not agreement (contract) or the protection of an interest (nuisance or defamation).

Critical approaches reception studyiain bruce

Stuart Hall argued that all media contains encoded messages from producers that viewers must decode, but that decoding can occur in different ways for different viewers based on factors like family, culture, nationality, and ideology. Hall believed there were three main ways audiences decode messages - as the dominant, negotiated, or oppositional reading intended by the producer. The dominant reading accepts the producer's message, a negotiated reading accepts some of it but also imposes their own views, and an oppositional reading recognizes the message but rejects it.

A programmer is crucial for any video game development as they code the game to make it work. Programmers work in teams with lead programmers overseeing core elements and the overall game while others code specific aspects. Key skills include experience in languages like C++, creativity to problem solve under pressure, and a genuine love of games to understand different mechanics. A degree in fields like computer science is typically needed, and interning at game studios helps gain experience and connections. For example, Travis Mcintosh as the lead programmer on The Last of Us coded the main game aspects and core from scratch, which is a greater challenge than building upon an existing framework.

Oh the compilers you'll buildMark Stoodley

Compilers have been improving programmer productivity ever since IBM produced the first FORTRAN compiler in 1957. Today, we mostly take them for granted but even after more than 60 years, compiler researchers and practitioners continue to push the boundaries for what compilers can achieve as well as how easy it is to leverage the sophisticated code bases that encapsulate those six decades of learning in this field. In this talk, I want to highlight how industry trends like the migration to cloud infrastructures and data centers as well as the rise of flexibly licensed open source projects like LLVM and Eclipse OMR are paving the way towards even more effective and powerful compilation infrastructures than have ever existed: compilers with the opportunity to contribute to programmer productivity in even more ways than simply better hardware instruction sequences, and with simpler APIs so they can be readily used in scenarios where even today's most amazing Just In Time compilers are not really practical.

The role of wall art in interior designingmeghaark2110

Wall art and wall patterns are not merely decorative elements, but powerful tools in shaping the identity, mood, and functionality of interior spaces. They serve as visual expressions of personality, culture, and creativity, transforming blank and lifeless walls into vibrant storytelling surfaces. Wall art, whether abstract, realistic, or symbolic, adds emotional depth and aesthetic richness to a room, while wall patterns contribute to structure, rhythm, and continuity in design. Together, they enhance the visual experience, making spaces feel more complete, welcoming, and engaging. In modern interior design, the thoughtful integration of wall art and patterns plays a crucial role in creating environments that are not only beautiful but also meaningful and memorable. As lifestyles evolve, so too does the art of wall decor—encouraging innovation, sustainability, and personalized expression within our living and working spaces.

An introduction to coding

1. An introduction to (coding) { Scripting in GML }

2. Introduction

3. What is coding? Coding is a way of telling the computer to do something. Simply put, it is a set of written instructions, for example; If (lives==0) { GameRestart=True }

4. What do we use coding for? Websites Games App development Programming Hardware development support The list goes on and on

5. Why do you need to learn coding? We live in a digital world; much of our everyday lives are spent interacting with the “web of things” and coding is the magic that makes all of these things work. Whether you want to work as a programmer or not, understanding what code is will give you a better understanding of how the world around you is working.

6. How important a skill is coding if you want to work in the games industry? Why is this?

7. Programmers are the people who write code. What skills does a good programmer need? Attention to detail (otherwise things will go wrong) Patience (it takes a lot of patience to figure out where you went wrong, and how to fix it) Curiosity (programmers always need to learn new languages) Creativity (for figuring out a solution to a new problem or implementing your ideas in new ways)

8. What coding language does GameMaker use? GameMaker has its own programming language, GML, created by the programmer Mark Overmars. Games be made completely using GML.

9. In todays lesson You will be using GML to create a lives and score system, rather than using the drag and drop system we used for the top down shooter.

10. By the end of the workshop, you MUST code simple lives & score systems in Game Maker Language SHOULD code the destruction of an object in Game Maker Language COULD experiment with your code to change how the lives, score and collision systems work in your game level.

11. Task 1 Log onto Moodle and open up the week 2 tutorial for the platformer series. Watch the video and learn how to code the lives and score system. Apply this knowledge to your platformer level. Play with the code; see what works and what doesn’t.

12. Task 2

13. End of lesson quiz What is coding? What problems did you encounter? How could you work towards solving these problems? Hands up who added their lives system? Hands up who added a score system? Hands up who added a simple enemy? Hands up who had more than three lives?

14. Programming is an amazing skill. Where can learning programming take you?
