Many children’s games have similarities to the structures we teach in Computer Science and those structures are chosen for similar reasons. For example, standard race game boards are lists - processed from start to end. More interesting games use more interesting structures. A circular list is found in Monopoly: the game could never end. Snakes and Ladders uses a directed graph. A treasure hunt is a traversal of a linked list. The similarities are not surprising since abstract data types model structures from the real world, as do games. This course is an introduction to VB.NET and Object Oriented Programming. This course will also investigate the design and use of the computer devices through the lens of game development, storytelling, problem solving, data representation, human-computer interactions, ethical considerations, and information security principles. Also included is a hands-on experience with command line scripting and GUI development; application of HTML, CSS, and scripts to web pages; and computer programming with an object-oriented language such as Python, VB.NET, or C#. Games developed from Computer Science can both be fun and provide the foundations for learning the subject.

However, learners may choose to complete the project as part of a group.Important Guidelines for Group Work:Group Formation:The size and members of the group are entirely up to the learners. Group Lead:The group must appoint a lead (this can be a non-student) who will define specific requirements for group participation. Group Member Responsibilities:Group members are expected to complete their assigned tasks as outlined by the group lead. If a group member fails to complete their tasks, the group lead has the authority to remove them from the group. If You Are Removed From a Group:Learners removed from a group can choose to:Continue working on the Final Project individually.Join another group if accepted.

It only becomes a group project if learners decide to form a group and formalize the arrangement with a written contract.This ensures clarity and accountability for all participants.
