Program with Paint Brushes, Not Pencils
- Lerc 2mo agoI think there's something to that. My starter program for 9 year olds was print("draw with the arrow keys"); var cx=320; var cy=240; function move() { if (keyIsDown(38)) cy-=1; if (keyIsDown(40)) cy+=1; if (keyIsDown(37)) cx-=1; if (keyIsDown(39)) cx+=1; } function draw() { fillCircle(cx,cy,6); } run(move,draw); I think since then I changed keyIsDown to keyHeldDown [with keyWentDown] as a compliment. That combined with https://fingswotidun.com/code/index.php/Keycodes https://fingswotidun.com/code/index.php/Keycodes That gives an etch a sketch program and enough information of how to convert it to WASD which seems to be a universal impulse amongst 9year olds.
