Green Sea Turtle & Starfish

My project

• My project uses the elements of the ocean to present what students can do using Stencyl.

• This is a very basic program with no game interaction. Its purpose is to demonstrate the programming used to create a project or game; to introduce students to programming and codes behind programs.

Components of Project

• Inside my project you will find tropical fish swimming in schools.

• The background consists of a coral reef teeming with sea life.

• The sound is a recording of ocean waves.

For the students…

• For my students I would like for them to be able to understand the background found in computer programs. The overall goal of my project is two-fold; to help them understand the time and effort that goes into their games and to help ignite interest in computers and computer related fields.
