Kodu

I have been amazed by Year 3 this week (pretty much like every other week really!).  We have been learning how to program kodus to play a game against the computer.  They helped me to create the right algorithms last week and I challenged them to use what they knew to create their own game this week.  It had to have 2 kodus and they had to program one to move with the arrow keys and the other to be moved automatically by the computer.  They had to insert objects to be eaten or swiped by the kodus.  They then added code to score points when each kodu found an object.  When one reached 5 they had to program the game to end and show who was the winner.  What they produced was mind-blowing!  Not only did they do everything I had asked, they also did things I don’t know how to do!  We invited Mrs Broad, our Key Stage Leader, to look at them and she was very impressed :-)  Well done Year 3!  If you would like to download Kodu at home please visit kodugamelab.com.  Unfortunately this is only for windows based computers.

  1. Wow! Very impressive Year 3!
    I will definitely be downloading Kodu at home, and hoping that Evie and Alfie will teach me how to do this.

    1. Great! If you have any problems downloading I also have it on a CD at school. I shall look forward to hearing all about your kodu’s adventures! Mrs Fairhurst

    1. I’m glad you are enjoying our computing lessons and then practising your skills at home. I would love to see your Jet Hero game Joseph, I bet that is cool too!

  2. Kodu is awesome!I made a game on it but I can not remember the name of it, it’s been so long since we’ve done it in Y3!

    1. I’m glad you are enjoying Kodu Lucas. Unfortunately our computing curriculum this term is about logo and data handling but don’t forget that you can download Kodu at home on any microsoft based computer and feel free to come to the Scratch club on Tuesday lunchtime as you can work on Scratch or Kodu then. All of KS2 are welcome, although hopefully not all at the same time!
