6 weeks. 5 lessons. 11 games. 1 real website. 1 scheduling tool. Let's look back at everything we've built together.
That's more code than most adults will ever write! And 3 new games just today!
7 student-designed games + 4 class projects = 44,900+ lines of game code
We didn't just learn about websites — we built one. The 5th grade class created a website for Blue Moon Ice Cream Shoppe in Port Austin.
You picked the domain name, planned the pages, and helped design it — and it's live on the internet.
1,836 lines of HTML, CSS, and PHP
A computer that serves web pages — the kitchen
When code does something it shouldn't
Sending code from your computer to the world
A rule the computer must follow while solving
Tech that lets browsers talk directly to each other
Your website's address (like a street address)
Robots that auto-deploy your code when you push
How programs talk to each other behind the scenes
Five students came up with game ideas, described what they wanted, and watched them come to life.
Cat Classroom — catch 10 cats before time runs out
Gorilla Beat-Up + Baseball — 2 games, 12,800+ lines
Firewall Escape + Home Run Derby — 2 games!
Tockins Golf — 5 themed courses with upgrades
Wind Turbine Repair — 3D exploration with mini-games
That's the Software Development Life Cycle in action — idea, design, build, test, deploy!
New ideas, new genres, new challenges — what game do YOU want to make next?
Sprites, animations, sound effects — make your games look and feel amazing
Get even better at describing what you want to build — the #1 skill of the future
Everything you build is live on the web for family and friends to see
Now you can explain how the internet works, describe the software life cycle, build multiplayer games, create real websites, solve puzzles with constraint algorithms, and design your own games from scratch.
Play all 11 games. Try to beat each other's high scores. Show your friends what you built this semester!
See you next semester!
