On 16 November 2025, another class was held for Robocode Centre participants,
during which young programmers created a system for controlling an LED matrix
using a gyroscope 🔎🦾. This was a new step in learning about the
interaction between electronics and code, as well as in developing the
algorithmic thinking of schoolchildren.
During the last three classes,
participants managed to learn a lot of interesting things:
💡
they got acquainted with the MakeCode Arcade environment, interface, sprites,
scene, and the basics of control; they learned how to create algorithms, work
with sprites, and program character movement — and based on this, they
developed their first mini-game;
👨💻 created the ‘Whack-a-Mole’ project, where
they practised working with sprites, events, interactions between objects, and
scoring;
🎮
began work on the game ‘Ping Pong’ for two players, during which they learned
about variables, conditions, loops, coordinate systems, and messages for
communication between sprites;
💫
created three new mini-games that helped reinforce their knowledge of
conditions, loops, programming logic, and working with graphic objects;
🇬🇧 learned 8 new English terms related to
programming and games.
Even more technical discoveries
await the participants! Next month, they will begin to learn about the physics
of 2D games and animation, and will also take their first steps into the world
of electronics thanks to the SensoKit platform ⚡.
The Robocode Centre continues to
create a space where children learn to program, think creatively, and bring
their own ideas to life in projects 💻✨
