Additional Exciting
Snap! Programs This
is a collection of articles: most of which describe the design of interesting
and challenging Snap programs. Some articles also address advanced topics
about how to do something in Snap. Missing digit: Leila is a math
detective; she can tell you (in "interactive" mode) or her friend
Sheila (in "animation" mode) the missing digit in your (or her)
number. Slider puzzle: This is a game you play with
a grid with numbered blocks. One of the cells is empty, so that neighboring
blocks can slide to it. The goal of the game is to line up the numbers
left-to-right and top-to-bottom. This program implements a 3x3 grid
containing numbers 1 thru 8. Simulation of Bubble Sort: In this
program, we use the bubble sort algorithm to sort an array of numbers and
create a graphical simulation to demonstrate how it works. Practice addition using pictures:
This is a simple program that allows a preschooler practice adding single
digit numbers. It presents 2 numbers in countable picture form and asks how
much they add up to. Tic-tac-toe: This program implements the
popular two-player game. You play against the computer. Solo chess: This program implements a
popular board game that purports to "train" young minds for the
game of chess. It uses a 4x4 chess board and only 10 chess pieces. Eight queen puzzle: This program
implements the famous eight queen puzzle in which you have to arrange eight
queens on an empty chessboard such that none of them checks any other. The
program has both "manual" and "auto" modes. Zork: Zork is an interactive game of monsters in the dungeon.
There is a multi-story dungeon in which the gamer needs to find a way to the
room that contains the 'grand prize'.
On their way, they may have to fight monsters, grab swords and magic
stones, and move up or down the dungeon. Connect4: This is a 2-player game which
consists of two sets of colored coins and a standing grid of rows and
columns. Each player takes one set of coins and then by turn drops coins down
any of the vertical columns (we will call them “tubes”). In this program, you
play with the computer (which plays like a monkey!) Escape from the zoo: The aim of the game
is to free all animals from the zoo (a 4x4 grid). To free these animals from
the zoo make them exit from right (east) by clicking one at a time. Each
clicked animal lines up in a "freedom queue" below the grid. Adventures in Pen Art: This is a collection
of some challenging and exciting drawing and painting projects, such as a
recursive tree, Sierpinski triangles, and the US flag. Everything you see is
drawn by the Snap Pen and there is no use of the STAMP command. |
