This document introduces coding and game making using drag-and-drop programming. It defines key vocabulary related to coding, programming, and debugging. The learning intentions are to define these terms and use drag-and-drop programming to create a Flappy Bird game. Students will drag blocks into a workspace to create a program, run it to check for errors, and see the equivalent JavaScript code.
