Chapter 5 Collision Theory and Logic
Speaking and Listening. Research the features of some of the programming
languages commonly used in video game design. Compile information
about the aspects and features of each type of language that help to make
programming easier as well as any other information you find that is
applicable. Use this information along with your preference for the types of
games you would like to create to select the top three programs you think you
would be most likely to use. Using various elements (visual displays, written
handouts, technological displays), present your choices to the class. Be sure
to use the appropriate vocabulary related to the industry. Explain why you
chose the programming languages you did. As you listen to your classmates’
presentations, take notes and ask questions about vocabulary you do not
understand.
Some competitive events for Career and Technical Student Organizations
(CTSOs) require that entrants complete an objective part of the event. This
event will typically be an objective test that includes terminology and concepts
related to being a video game designer. Participants are usually allowed one
hour to complete the objective part of the event. To prepare for the concepts
portion of the entrepreneur objective test:
1. Read the guidelines provided by your organization. Make certain that you
ask any questions about points you do not understand. It is important you
follow each specific item that is outlined in the competition rules.
2. Visit the organization’s website and look for entrepreneurial concepts tests
that were used in previous years. Many organizations post these tests for
students to use as practice for future competitions.
3. Look for the evaluation criteria or rubric for the event. This will help you
determine what the judge will be looking for in your presentation.
4. Review the checkpoint questions at the end of each section of this text.
5. For additional practice, review the end-of-chapter activities.
6. Create flash cards for each vocabulary term with its definition on the other
side. Ask a friend to use these cards to review with you.
7. Ask your instructor to give you practice tests for each chapter of this text.
It is important that you are familiar with answering multiple choice and
true-false questions. Have someone time you as you take a practice test.
