Since our December meeting was cancelled due to weather, we'll be creating this game on the 19th of January instead.

At this meeting we'll be making a "Space Shooter" video game.  We will be writing code to animate objects and make a scrolling shooter game.

Coding Club -> Gaming Club

Our Coding Club has been renamed Gaming Club!  Our plan for this year includes:

• Learning how to program in basic computer languages by playing games
• Teaching other students how to write and read coding languages
• Anything that you, the student, want to show the group about video gaming or computer programming, or both!
• Playing, writing, and ENJOYING games!

Next Meeting: May 26th

At our next meeting, there will be options (as always!).  Bring your own ideas or coding related activities to share if you have any!

Some options for our meeting include:

• Code Combat - continue from before
• Code Hunt - for those who want a challenge
• Code.org - hour of code games 
• Programming an Arduino circuit board - can you figure out how to make it work?
