1. The game has 91 quests divided into 10 modules, which provide several dozen hours of great fun and learning. 2. The set consists of a box containing 179 blocks for writing programs, a user manual, game board, and license code. Mobile device is not included in the set. 3. The player selects a task in the application and writes a program by placing tiles in the right order on the game board. The program controls the main character's, that is Scottie's movements. 4. Then the player scans the program using the Scottie Go! application on a computer, smartphone or tablet. 5. Once the program is scanned, Scottie will perform, on the device screen, the instructions placed on the game board. 6. The player will see whether the task was performed correctly. 7. The game is designed for children from the age of 6. Whilst the game can be played by a single player, Scottie Go! provides great teamwork fun in group of 2-3 persons. 8. For very young players, it is recommended that the first levels of the game are completed with the help of an adult. |
Game Stages |
|
1. Setting the task
The app assigns the player a task. Players read the task and analyze it. Then they plan the sequence of commands that will make Scottie get to the right spot, avoid any obstacles, pick up objects, start a device and so on. The combination of all these actions will lead to the completion of the objective. |
2. Writing commands
The player starts writing commands. Each command starts with the START tile and ends with the FINISH piece. Between those two tiles, players place the command sequence. Some of the commands require a parameter, for example, the number of steps a given character is to take. |
3. Checking the solution
After clicking the "Camera" button, the players will switch to scanning mode. At this point, the command is registered, detected and interpreted and, within a fraction of a second, converted into Scottie's motion. The app will also analyze the correctness of the command suggested and will check if the objectives have been accomplished. After completing the task, the players receive some feedback. If the command is correct, Scottie will carry out the task, otherwise, players will be asked to rewrite the command. If the command is too long, players will be encouraged to optimize it (i. e. to shorten it). |

Programming in and outside the classroom |
|
Scottie Go! allows you to run classes in diverse places, on various occasions, on different devices, and in many different ways. After the installation on a device (Android or iOS mobile device, or a PC with Windows), the game does not require internet connection, which translates into the fact that it is possible to run a class wherever you want, even in a place where there is no IT infrastructure, e. g. school common rooms, corridors or even outside the building. |
The game can be effectively used even if there are not enough devices for each student. Even if only the teacher has a computer device, the tasks can be shown on a screen; once the students have completed their command lines, the teacher can test them by scanning them with the computer device. The teacher can switch to student account before taking a picture of the command line, so the students' results will be stored. |
