What will you do?
- Basic Game Development
- Build a website
- Make it interact with APIs that let you programatically call a phone or send a text messages.
Step 1: Games & Understanding Basic Programming GUESS: => Shipping a Project by Week 3 (1/3 of the time 3 days)
Start with some type of simple game engine like Stencyl that has the concepts of sprites. Get the very basics of programming down and understand the basic idea of an object.
It would be really cool to easily be able to do the following:
- it would be really cool to be able to run javascript from the client side with server side functionality!
- so when you run the code, you could set things up on the server to do certain things with pre-configured APIs
- perhaps for security, they would need to register their cloud9 name / their file / their domain with us so that only hackEDU student could use it.
here is an example of how I want to be able to do things without including any files.
This lets you easily build up a webapp very easily because it's just a static HTML page with javscript, that is publically accessible (on c9.io) AND can communicate with a shit ton of APIs. So you can learn String manipulation while listening to twitter (just like you would listen for a dweet).
