This is what you use to change a value by a little bit every time through the draw loop.
What is the counter pattern?
This kind of expression can only be true or false.
What is a Boolean expression?
The user pressing a key is an example of this broader idea.
What is user input?
This kind of input happens when the user clicks or moves the mouse.
What is mouse input?
This is the price of a Due Date Extension.
What is $70?
In Code.org, this function repeats over and over, allowing sprite movement to appear on the screen.
What is the draw loop?
This code block runs code only when a condition is true.
What is an if statement?
This function checks whether a specific key is currently being pressed.
What is keyDown()?
This code block gives one result if a condition is true and a different result if it is false.
What is an if-else statement?
What is the name of Mr. Cunningham's new baby?
(I'm gonna keep mentioning it until y'all can say it correctly lol)
Who is Archimedes?
If you constantly increase a sprite’s y property, the sprite will move in this direction.
What is down?
This comparison operator checks whether two values are equal in JavaScript.
What is ==?
The result of keyDown() can only be one of these two values.
What are true and false?
This sprite property can be changed to show or hide a sprite.
What is sprite.visible?
In Game Lab, students have spent time learning about a wide variety of programming ideas and tools that allow programs to respond to user actions, update values while a project is running, and create interactive animations and games that feel more alive on the screen. Across several lessons, we have discussed how sprites can move when their properties change, how conditionals can make decisions based on whether something is true or false, how keyboard input can allow a player to control movement or trigger sounds, and how mouse input can cause a program to react when the user clicks, moves the mouse, or interacts with visible objects on the screen. Considering all of those different ideas, all of those examples, all of those code structures, and all of those ways a user can make something happen in a program, name the physical object attached to most classroom computers that students literally click with their hand during the lesson on Mouse Input.
What is a mouse/touchpad?
this kind of movement is better for shaking or unpredictable motion instead of the counter pattern.
What is randomNumber()?
This operator checks if one number is bigger than another.
What is >?
This function is used to start audio in a Game Lab program.
What is playSound()?
This function checks whether the mouse moved on the screen.
What is mouseDidMove()?

This is something that Mr. Cunningham says all the time
Multiple answers accepted here, the best one wins the points!
(basically, the truest one that makes me laugh the hardest lol)
The counter pattern works by doing one of these two things to a value each time through the loop.
What are incrementing or decrementing?
The single equal sign is used for this, not comparison.
What is assignment?
This function is better for detecting the moment a key is pressed once, not held down.
What is keyWentDown()?
In an if-else statement, exactly this many code sections will run each time it is checked.
What is one?
