In Creative Coding 3 students will build on the programming skills they learned in Creative Coding 2 and begin applying these skills to larger and more complex projects. The projects cover a wide range of visual, interactive and algorithmic elements that students can recombine into useful apps, including custom buttons and sliders, instantiating multiple copies of objects, managing large numbers of variables in data structures, and writing readable and reusable code. After completing this course, students will know everything they need to begin creating unique, publishable artifacts in JavaScript: apps, games, and simulations.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of advanced Javascript Programming techniques by using objects, object constructors, properties, methods, and arrays to write code that utilizes object-oriented programming and data structures.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of advanced Javascript Programming techniques by using nested loops, conditionals and data, to write code that utilizes algorithms and data structures.
Students will demonstrate an understanding of advanced Javascript Programming techniques by using decision trees and heuristics to write code that utilizes Artificial Intelligence.
