Locode-motion: Programming Explained With Trains
Red Light Green Light Game: A pillar with a ball above and train on circular tracks in front of pillar area. When the ball pressed the train starts moving forward while the light is green. This action's main function is a “while loop” that is constantly checking if the ball is green. When the button is pressed again ball turns red and train stops in its tracks. This is because the “while loop” keeps running until a condition is met and when said condition is met it ends the entire sequence. (The condition being met would be the ball turning red).
Why Red Light Green Light? The reason we chose to make Red Light Green Light which is an interactive game in VR that educates people who might be hesitant to learn more about coding is because it helps better interact the user in an entertaining yet simple manner that shows basic programming functions using a real-world example. It’s not the usual textbook way to learn and is a beginner friendly software that helps people get engaged in the programming world.
