Introduction

The programming basics are implemented in the Scratch language. It is an educational language, created as a tool to teach children the basics of coding. It enables easy creation of interactive stories, animations or games. Coding is done in a visual way - elements of the language are in the shape of puzzles, which arranged in a proper way create a working program or game. During the first half of the course we also learn about the use of block objects. In the second part of the course, other languages and platforms are introduced that will take us to the world of 3D games. We will also try to transfer games to the real world with the help of Makey Makey. Emotions guaranteed!
