It includes 10 sections that describe how to: 1) code an animated dance sequence; 2) repeat a series of dance steps in a loop; 3) play music on a continuous loop; 4) coordinate the timing of multiple dancers; 5) set a sprite's starting position; 6) create a shadow effect for a dancer; 7) leave a trail as a sprite moves; 8) add color effects to the backdrop; 9) make a sprite move up and down slightly; and 10) trigger dance moves through keyboard presses. Each section provides ready-made code to accomplish the described task.
