Why Computer Studies
Computers are useful for six core functions: repetitive calculation, vast storage, searching and sorting data, combining data, communication, and fast response times. This allows for feedback between inputs and outputs. However, ICT systems have limitations such as hardware limits, software bugs, and the ability to only produce outputs as good as the inputs. While artificial intelligence is a goal, computers still struggle with tasks easy for humans like handwriting recognition. The GCE Computer Studies syllabus assesses these topics through examinations and coursework or alternative projects involving typical application software.

Social networks and games
Social network games can be categorized based on their dependence on social networks. Some games are network dependent and cannot exist outside social networks, while others are network integrated and can exist outside networks but are suited for social play. Some games are network independent and only take limited advantage of social networks. Effective social network games incorporate core mechanics that take advantage of social networks, such as turn-based and multiplayer gameplay that affects friends. They also encourage community and repeat visits through easy propagation across social networks and status/visual features.

Ch 8 introduction to data structures
Data structures are schemes for organizing data in computer memory. Common data structures include lists, arrays, stacks, queues, heaps, trees, and graphs. The organization of data affects program performance for different tasks. Programmers choose which data structures to use based on the nature of the data and the processes that need to be performed on that data.
Ch 8 data structures in alice
Alice has two built-in data structures: lists and arrays. Lists are ordered sets used to sequentially process objects, and can create queues. Arrays are indexed sets of variables like dancer[1], dancer[2] that store items like boxes. When deleting from a list, missing spots are filled in; when deleting from an array, empty variables are left behind. Lists are created by checking the "make a list" box, and can be manipulated with "For all in order" and "For all together" tiles. Arrays can be created similarly or using the Array Visualization object with properties and methods to manipulate elements.
Ch 7 recursion
Recursion involves a method that calls itself directly or indirectly. This can be done linearly, where a method calls itself once, or exponentially, where it calls itself multiple times. Recursive algorithms can generate complex structures from simple instructions and are often more efficient than iterative approaches, though they require additional memory. Common examples of recursion in nature and mathematics are fractals, trees, and recursive algorithms used to generate structures like the Sierpinski triangle.
Intro to gml
GML (Game Maker Language) is the interpreted programming language used to enhance games created in Game Maker. It allows scripts to supplement, extend, or replace actions. Scripts are interpreted and compiled just before execution. The GML scripts editor assists in writing code and performs syntax checking. Scripts use statements, variables, constants, arrays, loops and conditional statements like IF to control program flow and add logic to games.

Power point unit a
PowerPoint allows users to create presentations with text, graphics, charts and other media. It is important to plan presentations by determining the message, audience, and needed materials like handouts or speaker notes. PowerPoint has different views for creating, editing and presenting slides, including Normal, Slide Sorter, Notes Page and Slide Show views. Design themes can be applied to give presentations a cohesive and customized look. Slides and other materials can be printed or output in various formats for on-screen, online or hard copy distribution.
Gamegraphics
Graphics for games can be 2D or 3D and include menu screens, user interfaces, and in-game assets. Basic elements of images include pixels, resolution, aspect ratio, and colors which are described by properties like hue, saturation, and color depth. Images can be manipulated through operations like cut, copy, paste, and filters. Color theory principles around hue, value, temperature, and meaning are important to consider for graphics design. Proper use of light, shadow, visibility, and usability help ensure effective graphics in games.
Gamesound
Game audio is important for creating atmosphere, enhancing gameplay and immersion. It uses various formats including FM synthesis, sampling, MIDI, and Redbook Audio on CDs. Sound effects provide feedback, cues and warnings while voiceovers deliver dialogue and narration. Music sets tone and provides cues, with differences between game and film scoring. It can be looping or adaptive and is created using tools like sampling or synthesis with no standardized process.
Ch 6 text and sound in alice
There are five ways to display text in Alice worlds: using the say and think primitive methods, using the print instruction, adding 3D text objects, adding billboard objects with text images, and placing sound using the play sound method. The say and think methods display character speech and thoughts, print displays text in the output area, 3D text adds titles, billboards display flat text images, and any object can play imported or recorded sounds. Text and sound objects can be manipulated through their properties and methods.
