Java is a premier programming language in the industry today, used in everything from data centers to game consoles to cell phones. In this class, we use the Greenfoot programming tool, which teaches object oriented programming using Java. Greenfoot allows students to write Java code in a standard textual way, but also provides a visual component that makes their results clear and easy to understand. Through building classic arcade-style games like Asteroids and Flappy Bird, students learn about core programming concepts like objects, classes, data types, and methods. As you design and build you own version of Flappy Bird, you learn how to implement features such as player control, collision detection, scoring, and making a bird flap its wings. Toward the end of the course, students design and program their own unique game. You will leave this class with the foundation needed to succeed in future programming classes.
