Series Description
As you continue to work with code, scripts will become more complex. To address this, coders have a variety of techniques to make coding efficient, easy to understand, and reduce the chance of error. This series covers methods of organizing scripts, such as module scripts, a special type in script that can store functions and variables used by other scripts.
Objectives and Prerequisites
Learning Objectives | Understand the logic behind module scripts, as well as how to code a module script and access it in other scripts. Be able to identify patterns of abstraction and algorithms in computer science. |
Prerequisites | Have an understanding of functions, events, and if/then statements. |

Intro to Module Scripts | Learn how to use module scripts, a type of script that stores functions and variables that can be called or accessed from other scripts. |
Creating with Module Scripts | Apply using module scripts to create a mini-game where players gather keys to open chests. |
Coding Abstraction | Abstractions in computer science provide a simplified representation of something larger. They pull out only the most necessary information and hide everything else. |
Coding Algorithms | An algorithm uses a series of steps to determine an outcome. Steps can be a set of directions, comparisons, or even a mathematical formula. |
