Planning Changes:

Planning changes means deciding what needs to be fixed or improved in your project before you start. Think of it as making a list of tasks you need to do.

Example: If you’re building a website, you might plan to fix broken links, change the design, or add new pages.

Example:

Checklists:

A checklist is a list of tasks you need to complete, helping you stay organized and ensuring you don’t forget anything.

Example: If you’re fixing a bug in your code, your checklist might include:

  • Find the bug
  • Fix the code
  • Test the fix
  • Update documentation

Burndowns:

A burndown chart is a visual way of tracking your progress on a project. It shows how much work is left over time. You can think of it as a “countdown” to the finish line, where the goal is to have zero tasks remaining by the end.

Example: If you have 10 tasks to finish in a week, the burndown chart would show the number of tasks left each day, so you can see if you’re on track.

Example:

Coding with Comments:

When you write code, comments are notes you add to explain what the code does. This makes it easier for you or others to understand your code later.

Example:

  • The green is comments explaining/identifying the code
 ////////// game object for player /////////

  class Mario {
    constructor(meta_data) {
      this.tID = null;  //capture setInterval() task ID
      this.positionX = 0;  // current position of sprite in X direction
      this.currentSpeed = 0;
      this.marioElement = document.getElementById("mario"); //HTML element of sprite
      this.pixels = ; //pixel offset of images in the sprite, set by liquid constant
      this.interval = 100; //animation time interval
      this.obj = meta_data;
      this.marioElement.style.position = "absolute";
    }

Building Develpment Help Documentation:

Documentation is like a user manual for your code or project. It explains how to use the project, how to fix common issues, and how others can contribute to it.

  • Example: You could write a simple document that explains how to install your app, what features it has, and how people can report bugs.
