Week 2: Conditionals and Control Flow

Unit: Conditionals and Control Flow

This week you make your maze interactive with keyboard controls and wall detection using conditionals. You practice conditional logic through vocabulary, offline flow diagrams, and a look at loops, then finish the week by combining loops and conditionals to build a working game mechanic from a blank project.

Weekly Schedule

Day	Date	Topic	Summary
6	Mon 10/19	User Input and Conditionals	Watch an Edpuzzle on user input, add arrow-key controls to your maze, and use `if touching color` to send the sprite back to the start when it hits a wall.
7	Tue 10/20	Flocabulary: Coding — Conditionals	Complete all six Flocabulary activities to build vocabulary around conditional statements.
8	Wed 10/21	Flow Diagrams	Read and trace flow diagrams, then draw your own with ovals, rectangles, and decision diamonds to map out conditional logic on paper.
9	Thu 10/22	Loops	Watch an introduction to loops, complete Code.org Lesson 12 levels 1–10, and refactor a Scratch project with `repeat` loops.
10	Fri 10/23	Loops + Conditionals	From a blank project, build a `forever` loop with two `if` blocks, a moveable sprite, a collectable coin, and a score variable.
