Thus, the complexity of Kara's methods are hidden from the students at first. But programming is always done in the class MyKara which, through inheritance, can accessed all the methods of Kara. The class Kara includes all the functionality of the ladybug Kara as seen above. The most important classes are Kara and MyKara. In Chapter 5, Kara has a few additional methods to show messages and to ask the user for input. In Chapter 4, Kara has a additional methods so that a Sokoban game can be programmed.

The possibilities of Kara remain the same for all exercises, except for chapter 4 and 5. In each scenario, the world of Kara (with trees, leafs, etc.), is already prepared for each exercise. Run the setup program and follow the installation instructions.Īfter installation, any Kara-Scenario may be opened using the eenfoot file in the scenario folder.įor each exercise there is a separate scenario (see folder scenarios-chapter-1, scenarios-schapter-1-solutions, etc.). To use the Kara-Scenario Greenfoot must be installed first. Option 3: Start GUI-programming with JavaFX.

Option 2: Start using a professional development environment like Eclipse, Netbeans, etc.Option 1: Develop a custom project with Greenfoot.3 lessons: Writing own methods with parameters and return values, repetition (chapter 5).3-4 lessons: Programming a game, keyboard input, comparing Strings, reading Javadoc, designing ASCII levels, publishing the program on the Greenfoot website (chapter 4).3-4 lessons: Variables, data types and operators, the structure of a class, nested statements (chapter 3).3-4 lessons: flow diagram, control structures (conditions and loops), boolean and logic operators (chapter 2).3 lessons: Getting to know Kara, creating objects and calling methods with the mouse, reading source code, writing the first program (chapter 1).1 lesson: Installing Greenfoot, starting Greenfoot projects.When used in schools, the entire GreenfootKara material will take about 16-20 lessons. This might be especially helpful if you are a teacher.

Steve has a Magna Cum Laude degree in Computer Science from University of California, San Diego, and worked for years as a researcher and manager at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), where he did research and development in a variety of areas and received several software patents. He is a member of the Bay Area LEGO User Group (BayLUG) and helps with the annual Bricks by the Bay conference and public show. In 2006, Steve was a member of the Mindstorms Developers Program (MDP) and helped test the original LEGO Mindstorms NXT product before it was released. Steve has helped organize many FLL, RoboGames, and other robotics competitions. Steve began as a FIRST LEGO League robotics team coach in FLL's first season in 1999, and his FLL teams have won several awards. He has taught science classes to elementary school students in East Palo Alto schools, and teaches Java programing classes for Middle School students. Steve teaches after-school, homeschool and weekend LEGO robotics classes, he runs a LEGO Robotics Day Camp each summer.

Note Greenfoot session 1 and session 2 will include different programming examples and challenges. Students should bring a laptop computers to class, with the Greenfoot software and Java development kit (JDK) installed as described at The sample programs and examples from the instructor's web site (should also be downloaded prior to the workshop. During the workshop, attendees will be introduced to Greenfoot and Java programming, view and run sample programs, and write Java code to add functionality and create new programs. Students will use the Java programming language to define objects, variables and methods for implementing their simulations and games.

Programming concepts and techniques are introduced and practiced through a series of fun programming examples such as creating simple interactive games and simulations. Greenfoot provides a framework for easily programming interactive 2-D simulations and games based on a World and Actor model.
