Exciting Halloween Coding Activities to Try Out
Jack-O-Lantern: Beginner
Students do not need any prior programming experience to build Make-O-Lantern: Halloween coding game. This tutorial has some of the game already built and students will need to add their own assets and finish the rest of the Halloween Tynker coding. They’ll add eyes, noses, ears, and mouths for their custom jack-o-lantern.
Trick or Treat Tombs: Intermediate
This intermediate tutorial is appropriate for students with a little bit of programming experience.
Halloween Hostage: Advanced/Expert
Students can build Halloween Hostage from one of two templates. The advanced tutorial is appropriate for students with some programming experience. It has some of the game already built and students will need to debug parts of it and finish the rest. The expert tutorial is best for experienced coders and guides students through making the entire game from the ground up.
