Coding Presentation
Transcript: Coding By: Alex Clark What is Coding? What is Coding? What is coding? We use code everyday, whether it’s on our phone, computer, laptop, or microwave, coding is there. Coding is a series of numbers, 1s and 0s that computers can read, but there are multiple other languages of codes that can create games such as Madden 18, FIFA 18, and many other games. Code even dates back to the time of the Egyptians and have been used in the biggest wars, Vietnam, WWI, WWII. The History of Coding History Of Coding Coding first started with the Rosetta Stone which was an ancient Egyptian code. The Germans then used the Enigma code which allowed the Germans to send over 1,000 secret messages with their secret code which got cracked by the U.S. but because they knew the code they didn’t want to send to many troops which might have been suspicious and prolonged the war. The Rossetta Stone Famous Coder There were many famous coders and decrypters, and one of them was a man named William F. Friedman. William, intercepted a Japanese message that was decrypted and was read out to be an order to bomb Pearl Harbor. Sadly they could not send another message to evacuate Pearl Harbor quick enough and many lives were lost. How Code is Created Coding is a series of numbers now that computers can read that are made up of 1’s and 0’s. It is made by computers but there are multiple other languages of code such as Java, which is used to create mobile games, video games for Xbox, PS4, and Computer gaming. There is also other codes for other purposes. Ever wondered how touch screen works in cars now? That is code, it is used to program the buttons on microwaves, watches, phones, and cars for easier use. How Games Use Codes Now popular games such as Madden 18 and FIFA 18 use a coding program called the Frostbite Engine which allows them to run games at higher quality and can create more realistic body movements along with other minute changes such as sounds, dialogue, weather, stadiums, grass, and much more. FIFA, 2 years ago introduced a story mode with different cutscenes and it allowed players to play as a young soccer star and play your way up to being the best. This allowed them to use facial recognition to create the most realistic game yet. Conclusion Coding has been used for decades now and is now being used to create video games, apps, the buttons on microwaves and even buttons in your car. If video game creators wanted to make more realistic games they would want to use the Frostbite engine along with facial recognition and up to date graphics to compete with other games that are close to the best game you can create at the moment. Were you able to answer your essential question? Yes What are two challenges you faced during this process? The research and final product. How did you overcome the challenges? Worked hard. What is one skill that you developed while doing this project? Finding better facts How will you use the knowledge you gained in your own life? Help me to learn code. How can you help others to learn about what you discovered? Inform them on my essential question. If you had to start over with this project, what would you change about your question or final product? Might do something with coding. If you could take your project to the next level, how would you apply it further? Make something with coding.
