1. Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
You are part of a team making a game called Diamond Hunt. Other programmers on your team have started the game and you have been tasked with completing it. You will be using scratch to complete the game.

2. Mock Programming Project.
Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
You need to add the following features to the game:
When the game starts, the miner should say “I am going to be rich!”
When a diamond is touched by a miner it should disappear.
When a diamond is touched the diamonds collected count should do up by one.
When the miner has collected 5 diamonds he should say “I Win” for a second and then the game should stop.
A monster should chase the miner
When the monster touches the miner it should say “Game Over!” and stop the game.
How would a flowchart help you plan?

3. Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
Task 1
In your evidence document – write up an introduction to the project and what your program is going to do.

4. Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
Task 2
From your list create a flowchart to describe the tasks you need to do.
What are flowcharts?
Flowcharts – Graphical and verbal illustrations of algorithms. Useful in describing any step by step procedure and making it easier to create programming code
SHOW – THE FRIENDSHIP ALGORITHM

5. Mock Programming Project. Task 2 – Cont..

Task 2 – Cont..
Practice on a Snakes and ladders game
Start
Throw the dice
Move the coin
Landed on a snake head? No – go to 5, Yes go to 4
Slide down the tail of the snake. Go to 8
Landed on the bottom of a ladder? No go to 7, Yes go to 6
Move up the ladder. Go to 8
Reached the last block of the game? No go to 8. Yes go to 9
Give the dice to the other player. Go to 1
Player who has reached the last block has won.
Can you make a flowchart out of above?

9. Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
Task 2
Create the flowchart for the Diamond hunt project – can you see where IF statements (Decisions) and LOOPS may go?
Add this to your evidence document.
Use either the Office Shapes Insert or

10. Mock Programming Project. Task 3 Programming your game.
Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
Task 3
Programming your game.
You need to show the following:
Outputting to screen
Sequencing instructions
Storing data in variables
Selection using IF
Iteration
An arithmetic operator
A Boolean operator
Comments
How are you going to show these in your program – can you identify where these items might feature?

11. Mock Programming Project. Task 3 Add code to complete the following:
Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
Task 3
Add code to complete the following:
a) Add code to the Miner sprite so when the green flag is pressed the Miner says “I’m going to be rich!” for 1 second.
Comment on scratch to explain what will happen.
Screenshot your evidence and add it to your document – annotating in detail.
Test it to see if it works and show evidence of this.
You have now completed “Outputting to screen”

12. Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
Task 4
You need to show storing data in variables and IF statements
What is an IF Statement?
Watch this video by Bill Gates:

13. Mock Programming Project. Task 4 An IF statement in scratch

Mock Programming Project.
Task 4
An IF statement in scratch
The IF() block is a control block. The block will check it’s Boolean condition. If the condition is true, the blocks held inside it will run, and then the script will continue after. If the condition is false then the script inside will be ignored unless there is an ELSE condition.

14. Mock Programming Project. Task 4 Add code to complete the following:

Task 4
Add code to complete the following:
b) When a diamond is touched by the miner it should disappear.
Comment on scratch to explain what will happen.
Screenshot your evidence and add it to your document – annotating in detail.
Test it to see if it works and show evidence of this.
You have now shown a “Selection using IF”

15. Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
Task 5
Variables.
Variables are used to store values. Why is it important to store values in games?
In pairs discuss what values need to be stored in a game?
What would happen if the game did not have variables?

16. Mock Programming Project. Task 5
Diamond Hunt
Mock Programming Project.
Task 5
Look at the following blocks. Describe what you think the following is doing?
Which ones are the variables?

17. Mock Programming Project. Task 5 Add code to complete the following:
Diamond Hunt

Task 5
Add code to complete the following:
c) When a diamond is touched the diamonds collected count should go up by one.
Comment on scratch to explain what will happen.
Screenshot your evidence and add it to your document – annotating in detail.
Test it to see if it works and show evidence of this.
You have now shown “Storing data in variables”

18. Mock Programming Project. Task 6 – Another IF
Diamond Hunt

Task 6 – Another IF
Add code to complete the following:
d) When the miner has collected 5 diamonds he should say “I Win” for a second then the game should stop.
Comment on scratch to explain what will happen.
Screenshot your evidence and add it to your document – annotating in detail.

Task 7 - Iteration
Using a repeat block can save a lot of scripting
This code will be repeated 10 times.
How could you change this condition to repeat code until something happens?
Watch video on the repeat block.
