These lessons cover JavaScript lessons. Before starting with the lessons , the system has to be setup properly configured. The instructions are found on the JavaScript main page.
The Basics
In this section we will learn about the basics of JavaScript coding. We will slightly use the BrainPad but it is mostly about language syntax.
The Basics Description Coding Intro A lesson for those who have never coded in JavaScript. Variables Learn about how variables work and what kinds there are. Loops Lesson on the various kinds of loops used in programming. Flow Control Conditional statement lessons. How computers decide. Operators Symbols that help us mathematically and with logic checks. Functions In this lesson we learn about functions and how to pass arguments and return values. Built-in Functions Shows what functions are built right into the BrainPad. Drawing Lessons covering everything needed to use the display. Framebuffer Take advantage of the PC’s processing power for graphics.
Nothing is more fun than making your own games. The BrainPad Pulse is everything you need to get started, but the BrainGamer allows you to build more interesting games. Oh! And the BrainGamer has a rechargeable battery.
Game Lesson Description Gaming Intro An intro to gaming with a simple game that is less than 50 lines of code.
Learning about circuits and programing modules to work with the BrainPad brings a whole new meaning to the idea of coding something physical and real. BrainPower , BrainTronics , and BrainClip accessories take advantage of this.
Physical Computing Description In ➤ Proc ➤ Out Physical computing and how “things” connect to a computer (processor). Digital Digital Signals, how they work and why.
