A fun and challenging puzzle game where you help little robots complete their mission and collect all gems by creating short recursive programs.

1. Description: By "programming" one another to draw pictures, you and your child will get an opportunity to experience some of the core concepts of programming in a fun and accessible way. Your child will use symbols to instruct you to color squares on graph paper to reproduce an existing picture. 2.

First, individually develop a design using sheets of 4×4 graph paper (Don’t let your partner see your design). For example, here’s how we would steps to instruct a friend (who is pretending to be a drawing machine) to color their blank grid so that it looks like the image below:

By "programming" one another to draw pictures, students will begin to understand what programming is really about. The class will begin by having students instruct each other to color squares in on graph paper in an effort to reproduce an existing picture.

Graph Paper Programming. Students write an algorithm (a set of instructions) using a set of predefined commands to direct their classmates to reproduce a drawing.

• Realize the need for formal programming structures like loops and functions MATERIALS: • Sample Drawings/Algorithms Kit • Programming Instructions Card • Large grid graph paper • Markers, pens, or pencils (two or three colors) Main Goal: Help students understand how “coding” works. PREPARATION:

A fun and easy activity to introduce general programming concepts and to help anyone understand what an algorithm is using just graph paper and markers. Learning Objectives. Understanding how coding works in general. Understanding what an algorithm is and how to make one. Awareness that computers work by following an algorithm. Key Terms. Algorithm

Color Challenge: Choose a small section of your graph paper and fill it with different colors. Write a code to describe how to color each square. Challenge a friend to follow your code and see if they can match your colorful creation. Talk about how changing colors adds a fun twist to the coding challenge.

Dec 10, 2017 · The graph coloring problem (GCP) refers to the problem of finding the coloring of an undirected, unweighted graph with the minimal number of colors (namely, the chromatic number). To solve the GCP problem, we implement the Greedy Coloring (GC) algorithm and the Recursive Largest First (RLF) algorithm.
