19 What Worked Well?

20 What Worked Well? Solve 2 problems and you can already play a game. "Ants vs. SomeBees was cool because we could see our progress through the project by playing the game over and over again in stages." (Demo)

21 What Worked Well? Solve 2 problems and you can already play a game. "Ants vs. SomeBees was cool because we could see our progress through the project by playing the game over and over again in stages." (Demo) Students develop the game logic; the provided graphics visualize the behavior they implemented.

22 What Worked Well? Solve 2 problems and you can already play a game. "Ants vs. SomeBees was cool because we could see our progress through the project by playing the game over and over again in stages." (Demo) Students develop the game logic; the provided graphics visualize the behavior they implemented. It's based on a game that students already know. "There should be more projects like [Ants vs. SomeBees]. I found making a spin-off of a popular game to be extremely fun; it hardly felt like I was doing work!"
