Workshop: Project planning

In pairs

Step 1: Play the game

Take a look, for example, at this simple implementation of the classic arcade game Pong.

Step 2: Break it into parts

Make a list of all the elements and interactions required to recreate what you see in your browser window.

Step 3: Put the list into a sequential order

Imagine you are building it from scratch. Put your list of elements and interactions into a sensible task list from start to finish. Think carefully about the sequence. For example, a ball cannot move until it has been created.

As a group

Step 4: Create a shared list

Decide collectively in what order we are going to build the different parts of the game.

Roles
