Kodu Skills
There are lots of things you can do in Kodu, here are what I would consider the basic skills that will let you build interesting games. There are other things you can do too once you've grasped all of these but you can learn about them by experimenting (or watching youtube tutorials)
- Creating a new world
- Adding and Moving an object (like Kodu) with the keyboard Keys
- Bumping an object / eating an object (called collisions)
- Adding a score (using a variable)
- Adding scenery (buildings and trees)
- Ending the game (winning and losing)
- Adding Land
- Adding Hills
- Adding Water
- Automatic Movement - following an object, following a path
- Shooting
- Hit Points and Healing
- Glass Walls - letting objects fall off the world
- Multiple pages of code - Changing what the object does based on what has happened (context based programming, calling routines, conditional execution, instruction pages)
