Hey! If you had a chance to drive the VEX Herobot, I would love to hear what you think? Click the link below to fill out the survey and stop by the lab for a little treat!

Click on the link below and enter your class code to join my class.

In the previous Tynker activity, you learned how to write instructions, or code,  to model and animate the agents of a simple system. In addition to programming the agents, you also need to provide a way to change some things about the system. Things that can be changed in a model are called parameters. Think about the infection spreading simulation that you saw in#TrittatHome1. You were able to change the number of initial infections, the recovery rate, and other things about the model. Those are parameters of the infection model.
In this project you will learn how to program a model so that it has parameters, or values that can be changed. Building on the things you learned while making the dodgeball/tilt game in the previous activity, you will build a model of a dinosaur ecosystem. This model will allow the user to set parameters at the start of each simulation to specify the number of dinosaurs, the amount of food available, and other things about the dinosaurs’ interdependent system.
Once again, it would be best to print the directions as reference as you work. Happy coding!

The directions for our tilt game part 2 are below. This is a bit more challenging than part 1. If it's possible to print the directions, I would highly suggest it. At the end, though, you will have made a game that keeps score! Fun! Comment below and let me know if you realize you created some bugs in your code and how you debugged. I know I created some! 

So! What did you think of Tynker? Did you create anything cool? Comment below. 

Now for your actual work this week and next. Let's continue our PLTW module.
