Wordle Game

  • Similar to the New York Times “Wordle”

    • 6 tries to guess
      • Blue: letters are in the word, not correct space
      • Green: letters are in the word, and in the correct space
      • Grey: letters are not in the word
    • A word is five letters
  • Second mode: change number of letters, change allowed guesses, set a time limit, do specific genres or topics
  • Ideas to implement

    • clear the screen
  • Knowlege needed: webpage, user input, animations, keyboard

What do you need to learn to complete the Create Performance Task design process?

  • A programming language. Probably HTML for a website.
  • The syntax
  • How to properly/effectively outline a project.

What resources do you have available to start on the design journey?

  • College Board
  • Khan Academy
  • W3 Schools
  • Youtube
  • The APCSP Fastpages and blogs from former students.

What I will do personally to improve my coding skills before create performance task.

Here are some ideas that I will use to learn more about coding:

  • Going though the AP computer science principles videos on Khan Academy and doing their exercies.
  • Watching and taking notes on the college board AP CSP videos. I will also take practice quizzes on college board.
  • Going though exersices on W3 schools. This would be a great way for me to learn how to code.
