Games Use All the Coding Ideas!
Games use every coding concept you have learned:
- 🔄 Sequences — things happen in order
- 🔄 Loops — the game runs over and over
- 🔻 Events — click or tap to do something
- 🤔 Conditions — IF you win THEN show celebration
- 🅾 Functions — draw character, update score
The Game Loop
Every game has a game loop that runs over and over — very fast! Each time: read what the player does → update the game → draw the screen. Over and over!
Score and Win Conditions
Games track a score. There is usually a win condition (collect all stars) and a lose condition (time runs out). These are IF/THEN conditions in code!

You are a game designer!
Every game you have ever played was made by someone who learned to code — just like you are doing right now!
