ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 6 April 2019

Saturday’s Coding Squad 🙂

Capt. Faris is given a project to detect hoax and real news

plus investigating the neural nets architecture being used by our machine learning platform

The codes

Hafiz’s Plant vs Zombie Game is getting better and better 😉

we need to add lots codes to add more features to the game

Now the game has the randomly generated points (the yellow dots)

it also now has flowers that can shoot peas 🙂

Hafiz has to repeat the process for lots of sprites

and then define scoring and rules of the game. Lots of hard work but fun 🙂

Sulaiman is going to choose his own project today 🙂

We borrowed Aidia’s book to find a suitable project for Sul 🙂

After a while, Sul finally chose this one 🙂

The result 🙂

and then Sul started to create running text structure like Capt. Awa was doing earlier

Syadad started creating games today 🙂

The first sprite

Object movement test

The other sprite to be eaten by the first sprite

room setup

Yayyy, Syadad’s first game 🙂

more object arrangements and background

We will add scoring in the next class 😉

Aidia is improving her sophisticated locker system design 😉

Aidia added more structures to her world

She brought some books for references

So whatever Aidia created in her world is pure her creativity; she combined lots of ideas into unique structures

Capt. Awa asked for a challenge and so the challenge was creating a running text structure

No one has ever created this before because of it’s tricky nature. By using piston the furthest shift is 7 blocks

But Awa wouldn’t be a Captain if he wasn’t qualified 🙂 He brilliantly overcome the limitation by making it circular 🙂

The structure. Unbelievable. Impressive. Outstanding. 🙂

Awa tried several structures before finally found the correct one

Minecraft can be used to learn many things including logic, problem solving, creativity, including mechanical structures and electronics logics 😉

Experimenting with the machine

adding shield to make it waterproof 😀

Andra is still going through the intro to coding 🙂

Today he learned about function through pattern

And then moved on to more challenges. Next week Andra will learn visual coding with actual coding scripts 🙂

ProCodeCG – Darul Hikam – Kids Coding Class – 5 April 2019

Today we started to prepare projects for the end of semester 😉

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

Daffa collaborates with Arsa creating a new game with GameMaker

Daffa created some of the sprites

and the objects to make them move

and also created some of the backgrounds

but Daffa is very interested in learning basic electronics. Next class he will be given a basic electronics project 😉

Arsa teamed up with Daffa

designing a new interesting game 😉

the game will be in night and day mode 🙂

Arsa had mastered the basics of creating games so he can make any games he wants

but in the middle of process, Arsa wanted to explore about basic electronics, because it looks really interesting 😀

Arsa learned about basic components and how to use a multimeter 😀

Capt. Bullitt is ready for the duty today 🙂

The project for the end of semester: a smart trashbin 🙂

Capt. Bullitt is responsible to lead the project, and make sure the team give the expected results 🙂

Hanif is going to make v2 of his game

the v1 is working with some bugs so we are going to modify it and see the result

we’re going to implement different methods in spawning these pipes

Arsa visited Hanif offering himself to test the game 😀

We are definitely testing every step and make sure we didn’t miss any configurations that work well in the previous version

Andra is also preparing the project for the end of the semester

Andra will modify and upgrade his game

Faisal is doing the same project as Isma’ill and Danen: creating a Smart TrashBin

Faisal is responsible on drawing the design

The picture will describe how the project works 🙂

Isma’ill is responsible for the code and make sure works

Teamwork 😉

The stuff for the project

The code

debugging the code

Danen is responsible for installing the components

Look at those happy faces 😉

Danen has successfully installed the ultrasonic sensor and the microservo

Later we can use a more proper box but the target is to make it work 😉

Khalis had learned so much about creating games

and this is his project for the end of the semester 😉

Wow almost finished 🙂 We’re going to finished it up next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Weekdays Coding Class – 4 April 2019

Midweek coding time 😉

Abil executing the plans from last week

including adding more backgrounds

and sprites

and the list of assets keeps expanding 😀

Abil’s game now is a multiplayer game 🙂 We’re still figuring out how to display two different scores 😉

Kinan has great plans too

Kinan made a very detailed and nice background

and going to make the characters being able to jump from one world to another 🙂

She added more characters and interactions, making the game more complex but that’s good 😉

There’s no way to create a good game in a short time, we’re still going to work on this game next week 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 30 Mar 2019

Coding crowd this Saturday 😉

Hafiz is working on Plant vs Zombie Game. It is quite difficult and takes more time to develop than the previous ones

Preparing the sprites

the assets

each sprite is carefully designed 🙂

the background

Testing plant placing

The objects are now placed neatly in the room 😉

More objects added 🙂 Nice! Next is to add scoring and spawning the zombie randomly 🙂

Sam’s work is getting harder and harder to do since the target is to release this app to PlayStore

We need to think how to manage the screens and the size of the app

We are discussing the screen flow and the best UI/UX design especially to show the user the progress of memorizing the Juz’Amma

we just realized that Sam’s app has too many screens and that makes the app size grows. The more the screens, the harder it is to manage

Capt. Faris had his own app developed with Android Studio, and he shared his architecture to us

it is time to throw in database 😉 and the trick is to create limited screen, and reload the view from the database

so Sam has to learn about accessing TinyDB 😀

It leaves him like this LOL

Fadhlan, stop eating the candy and start to work! 😀

We have to work on this: testing the right and left motor plus the controller, and make it navigates

Working hardddd there you go 😀

Capt. Awa helped us testing the robot *and ran away when the robot was activated because it refuse to avoid obstacles LOL but at least we know that button, LED, buzzer, wheels, are working and we just need to check the ultrasonic before adding compass and bluetooth module 😀

Capt. Faris and his research 😀 He was given a challenge to learn how to prevent shoplifting with camera object detection

Capt. Awa, brought new toys!

The new stuffs have the same size as a coin!

wowww, modules for TinyDuino

But we still couldn’t get these little mates to work :(( We suspected the USB-UART driver or probably the port

So Capt. Awa explored another thing: basic electronics simulation

and then helping us with the robot

the robot was going in circles so Capt. Awa helped us switching the polarity 🙂

Testing is done for today (too many things being hit by the robot LOL)

Badi’s website is ready to be uploaded to public 🙂 Today Badi will buy domain and hosting and upload it

We’re searching for the best option, and after we got one, Pavilion19 will have a website 🙂

Aidia is so excited about her Minecraft Project today 🙂

She brought lots of books for references 🙂

Aidia does both design and mechanical structures in Minecraft

Look at this: she created a locker system below a beautiful building she designed 😉 How nice!!!

Inside the locker corridor 🙂 Next week we’re going to add button to get a specific locker sent to a specific person 😉

Al is going to make another animation, yaaay 🙂

He’s getting better 🙂

Al finds references on the internet to get more ideas

And he created animation for educational purposes like this one 🙂

We have a newcomer: welcome Andra 🙂

Like the others, Andra had to go through the intro to programming

One challenge down

Now another one, and Andra can do it very quickly with lots of excitement 🙂

Yogi came with the same problem from the last class: displaying a score that follows the object 🙂

This one worked for Game Maker Studio 2 but not with version 1 so we tried so many ways and still couldn’t figure it out. Don’t worry Yogi we’ll work it out

Syadad is now ready for a code combat 😉

Syadad is very excited with this challenge, especially because now he has a friend: Andra 🙂

Next week Syadad will be ready for creating games yaay!!!

Until then! 😉

Hello Kinan and Abil, glad to see you again 🙂

Abil continued the shooting game he started last Saturday

The assets 🙂

The main character with the bullet

The targets

The background

Great achievements so far, we just need to expand the background and add more features next week 🙂

And Kinan, who got all of her data wiped up after fixing the laptop, had to installed everything and started all over again 🙂

The assets 😉

The main character and the bullets

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 23 Mar 2019

Our regular productive Saturday 🙂

Aidia’s animation with Scratch 🙂

Today Aidia started a new Minecraft Project

Aidia installed Pivot Animator because she wants to create animation

But today she focused on building things with RedStone

Aidia created some rollercoasters and our plan is to add counter to count how many cycles a cart has gone through

Sam is still working on adding more features and improving the UI/UX of his Juz’amma App 🙂

We’re finding ways to give user the info about how many verses have been memorized

There are some alternatives: with progress bar, with checklist, or numbers

For now each verse has a check list, the next is how to show the summary 😉

Badi has made excellent progress!

The website is done!

With the booking calendar!

whoaaa this is incredible 🙂

The gallery

The booking details

For next we will add number of visitor and probably a chatbot 🙂

And next week we will learn how to upload the website 🙂

Hafiz finally finished the Endless Runner Game

 

The next is Plant vs Zombie Game 🙂

Fadhlan has to install all the components today: button, LED, buzzer, micro servo and ultrasonic sensor. And we’re going to see the robot navigate and gathering radar data

Fadhlan is making his way to make the micro servo securely planted on the platform

Fadhlan is enjoying things like this

Thing most kids are avoiding 😀

Nice installation

Undergone navigating and mapping test

the readings 🙂 The remaining problem is the wheels wouldn’t move. Will check on that next week

Capt. Faris explored deeper about faking image, videos and voice

He is really doing a serious research

He even investigated how to do deep learning from a 6 months chatting history

Abil started to create his shooting game today

The assets are finished but not yet the code 😉

Syadad had finished lots of Minecraft Hour of Code Series and LightBots at home

Today he started a Blockly Games journey 😉

After Syadad is done with Blockly and CodeCombat then we will start creating games 😉

Every kid has their own pace and interests, that’s why they have to be treated personally and differently the bring out their best 😉

ProCodeCG Kids Regular Coding Class – 17 Mar 2019

A cold and drizzly Saturday morning but we still come to the class because we have things to get done 😉

Today Aidia is going to finish up the Railroad Gate Project 😉

We’re going to remove 3 of the LEDs to free some ports for the ultrasonic sensors

We have removed 3 LEDs, connect all ultrasonic sensors and make some adjustments with the code. It worked nicely, so Aidia’s Mom now can cover all the cables and stuff with pretty garden just like before 😉

Since Aidia had finished the project, she can choose the next project, which is Minecraft Modding 🙂

The reference book 🙂

Aidia was asked to create the Railroad Gate Project in Minecraft but she said she wanted to build things before getting into RedStone stuff 😀

Al is ready to continue his work with animation 🙂

He makes a short animation story

and upload it to YouTube! What a breakthrough today! 🙂

Sam is working on adding more features to his Juz’amma App

Now each verse has button to mark if the user has memorized it 🙂 Progress bar is going to be added too 😉

We want to make sure that the app will help the user to track their progress and motivate them to memorize more verses 🙂

Badi got an important task to do about the website design: finding the best design and implement it

one of the references

Badi has a good sense as a programmer. He can dive into the codes and read the connections between different parts

The website

We’re going to add hovering menu dropdown

Nicely implemented

Badi searches and reads lots of examples and codes and modify his own code based on them

Badi also finds a way to see the technology being used by a website plus the score of the design

Mohan will continue the Endless Runner Project

The Dinosaur

The bird

The ground

The room

And the background 🙂 We have make the Dinosaur runs but not as smooth as the real one

And today we had a newcomer: Syadad

Syadad goes through the intro to programming

Syadad is a fast learner 🙂

He finished the challenge

And the next is learn about procedure and function with Lightbot 😉

We will be back again next week for more achievements 🙂
