These video tutorials should help you get started learning with MicroWorlds EX or MicroWorlds EX Robotics! You may download them and watch them as often as you wish.
According to our registry, MicroWorlds EX is capable of opening the files listed below. It is possible that MicroWorlds EX can convert between the listed formats as well, the application’s manual can provide information about it. Jul 08, 2010 MicroWorlds EX.exe, IconF69DA207.exe, MicroWorlds EX 20.exe, MicroWorlds EX 24.exe or MicroWorlds EX Robotics.exe are the common file names to indicate this program's installer. The size of the latest downloadable setup file is 19.6 MB. The latest version of the program is supported on PCs running Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10, 32-bit. Microworlds offer a more creative entry point to coding. While many introductory coding experiences focus on engaging children in puzzles with one right answer, microworlds provide an open-ended experience, enabling children to explore, experiment, and create, while still providing a more simplified and scaffolded entry point into coding.
These screencasts (video clips) were created to walk you through basic techniques you will need to create an original “Snac Man Jr.” game (it’s like Pac Man without lawyers).
The MicroWorlds EX Project book has a tutorial in creating a similar game, but I find that it is unnecessarily complex, despite having written it myself.
I can now teach beginners to design their very own video game with very little instruction.
Microworlds Ex Coding
Continue practicing using the MicroWorlds EX tools and turtle animation techniques before moving on to the main event.
Snac Man Jr!
Now you will learn how to begin designing your very own Snac Man Jr. video game!
Stop the video as necessary and try to imitate the actions described.
The learning adventure continues…
