Scratch 3 Programming Playground: Learn to Program by Making Cool Games

A project-filled introduction to coding that shows kids how to build programs by making cool games. Based on Scratch 3, the world's most popular drag-and-drop programming language developed by the MIT Lifelong Kindergarten Group.

Kids learn to code by making fun computer games with the Scratch programming language. Games include things like a timed maze, a snake game, asteroids, and more. By combining colorful Scratch programming blocks of code, kids quickly learn computer programming concepts, like loops, strings, and variables, without having to master the cryptic syntax found in most programming languages. Easy-to-follow, full color instructions let readers get immediate results with minor supervision. Review questions and coding challenges reinforce learning and aid classroom use and the development of lesson plans.

一本以程式設計為主題的專案導向介紹，向孩子展示如何通過製作酷炫的遊戲來建立程式。基於 Scratch 3，這是由麻省理工學院終身幼稚園小組開發的最受歡迎的拖放式編程語言。

孩子們通過使用 Scratch 編程語言製作有趣的電腦遊戲來學習編程。遊戲包括計時迷宮、貪吃蛇遊戲、小行星等等。通過組合色彩豐富的 Scratch 編程代碼塊，孩子們可以快速學習計算機編程概念，如循環、字符串和變量，而無需掌握大多數編程語言中晦澀的語法。易於遵循的全彩指導讓讀者在輕微監督下即可獲得即時的成果。評估問題和編程挑戰加強學習，有助於課堂使用和課程計劃的開發。
