In this workshop you'll create a little game that works in your computer, plus a physical controller -like the ones in gaming consoles- that you'll use to control the game you've made.
To program the video game and the controller we are going to use two different blocks-based programming languages: Snap! and MicroBlocks.
Snap! is a live, blocks-based language that delves into advanced programming concepts and is suitable for a rigorous introduction to computer science. MicroBlocks is also a live blocks-based programming language that runs on microcontrollers and is ideal to get started with electronics and physical computing.
Unless stated otherwise, FOSDEM Junior workshops are intended for children aged 7 to 17. Don't forget to bring your own laptop.
