YEAR 10 INFORMATION SYSTEMS

In Term 4 the Year 10 Information Systems class have undertaken their own projects in teams to design a game using a new language of their choice. Students can choose from either Roblox Studio using Lua or Code Combat using Javascript. 

This is what some students had to say about it:

“Me, Paddy and Kevin worked on our own projects using Roblox Studio. I made a simple, humorous game that uses a round system and a not-yet-created voting system. The studio uses the programming language Lua, which is easy for beginners to learn, although I have had experience with it prior. Scripting the game was fun, although it remains unfinished. Overall, I gained more experience coding for practical projects.” ~ Jesse Sumarna 

“I was in a group with Paddy and Jesse, we were working on Roblox Studio with Luna language to construct a game. Our idea was to create a Formula 1 Monaco GP game with cars from this year. It was fun because it was successful, and the game worked well.” ~ Kevin Song

“CodeCombat taught me how to use javascript and use it for basic problem-solving. It managed to make the learning fun by making the levels interesting and giving you the ability to compete with friends' codes in the class. It was a very good learning experience.” ~ Louie Allen

“Learning Javascript in Code Combat taught me how to use basic code for problem-solving. Code Combat did pair their website with interesting design and worldbuilding, so it made working on it more interesting. I had fun learning Javascript with my friends.” ~ Adam Stekelenburg

“For the past few weeks in Information Systems the class focused on learning how to use different programming languages which were Java, Javascript, C++ and C#. For my learning task, I did a collaboration with Tali, Thea, Sunny, and Ksenia, and we used the platform, Roblox, to create an obstacle game. Our game was inspired by the anime, One Piece, however, we also decided to add in random things such as a giraffe named Michael as well as several cats. 

This task was a lot of fun as we all bonded together and there was much laughter and joy throughout the creation of this game. I am sure this will be a memory I would never forget, and I look forward to learning more in the upcoming years.” ~ Cindy Chang

“It has been an amazing semester having Mr Russo as our information system teacher. From what we have done so far during this semester, I really enjoyed doing Roblox and making games using Lua with my teammates Cindy, Tali, Sunny and Ksenia. This has tremendously expanded my knowledge of the 2nd Programming Language field and I'm looking forward to doing this next year as well!” ~ Thea Chang

“For the last term of the semester, Information System classes have been learning a new computing language to produce a game. My group, Cindy, Thea, Sunny, Ksenia and I created a game on the platform Roblox, based on an anime, One piece. It was great fun and now we all know how to create new games on the platform for others to enjoy and this process has helped enhance our computing skills.” ~ Tali Rudzki
