Take Your Chance Matching Game

A Collaborative Approach to Creating a Greenfoot Project

AKA GO Team Blue!!!

Step 1

• We opened Greenfoot, and created a New Scenario with a New World

Step 2

• We determined our team members’ strengths/fears.

• We re-assigned our roles as we worked through the project.

• Victor – head programmer• Kevin – Integral part of

program design team/researcher

• Wendy – note taker/editor/creative assistant, presenter

• Sue – project lead• Allan – tester/idea generator• Brenda – creator of slideshow,

mouse clicker • Liz – jafo

Step 3

• We determined we could use some of the code from the Blackjack game that’s part of the lesson 11 tutorials and videos, although the code will definitely be different

Step 4

The team discussed the overall design of the game:

• All cards start with the face up

Step 4 continued• When all cards are face

down, you win the game, and “You Win” icon displays

• When you correctly match the term card with its definition card, they will turn over and no longer be in play

Step 5

• Various bathroom and coffee breaks…….

Step 6

• Victor and Kevin worked on the actual coding

Step 6 again….

• They realized that the card object needs a variable assigned a character value for matching to indicate is/is not flipped and continued from there….Matching CardPrivate char valuePrivate bool flippedPrivate string fileName

Step 6 Continued….

• Allan researched heavily, looking for code snippets and graphics

More Step 6…..

• As the overseer, Sue regularly cracked the whip over our backs, ensuring we had completed our surveys, finished the pictures, but she even had time to provide the flash drive for the screen captures.

Still on Step 6……..

• Brenda and Wendy made things shiny…………

• (please make note of Wendy’s controlling stance)

• I’m just saying………

Does Step 6 Ever END?????

Final Step

• Looking at the rubric that Oracle suggests for marking group projects, we think we ALL deserve an A+++ in all categories for all members
