Purple Mash Computing Scheme Of Work: Coding Vocabulary And Concepts.pdf

Learning Objectives:
- Understand and define algorithms as step-by-step instructions to solve problems or achieve goals.
- Design, code, and test algorithms using 2Code software.
- Implement various commands like repeat, timer, and event triggers (when key pressed, when clicked).
- Compare and manipulate object types with different properties and actions.
- Debug programs to ensure they function as intended.

Key Terms:
- Character: Programmable objects in 2Code that can alter actions or properties.
- Code Design: Planning the structure and functionality of a program before coding.
- Code Block: Group of commands executed under specific conditions or events.
- Action: Commands modifying object properties or actions (e.g., moving, changing color).
- Algorithm: Precise set of instructions for achieving a specific outcome.
- Bug/Debugging: Identify and fix issues in computer programs to ensure correct functionality.
- Input: Data entered into a computer through keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, etc.
- Event Commands: "When Key Pressed" or "When Clicked" triggers running code.
- Timer: Executes a block of commands after a set time delay or at regular intervals.
- Object: Programmable elements with changeable properties and actions.
- Scale: Object size in 2Code.
- Repeat: Command to execute a block repeatedly (a specific number of times or infinitely).
- Properties: Modifiable attributes of objects (e.g., image, color, scale).

Key Questions:
1. Is debugging necessary for all coders? Why/why not?
2. Explain the functionality of repeat and timer commands.
3. Define an algorithm and its significance in coding.

Key Images:
- 2Code design mode interface.
- Switching between design and code modes.
- Opening, closing, and sharing files.
- Saving work.
- Instruction video playback.
- Visual representations of repeat, timer, and object property blocks.
