WHY GAME CHALLENGES?

Games challenge people to think strategically, utilizing all possible information, to win. Often, unconsciously we think in steps to win. These steps are considered Pseudocode is a technique used to describe the distinct steps of instruction in a manner that is easy to understand. Before people learn computer programming, they need to be able to think in steps or pseudocode.

WHY PSEUDOCODE AT ALL?

Better readability. Often, programmers work alongside people from other domains, such as mathematicians, business partners, managers, and so on. Using pseudocode to explain the mechanics of the code will make communication between the different backgrounds easier and more efficient.

Ease up code construction. When the programmer goes through the process of developing and generating pseudocode, the process of converting that into real code written in any programming language will become much easier and faster as well.

A good middle point between flowchart and code. Moving an idea to a flowchart to code is not always a smooth ride. That’s where pseudocode presents a way to make the transition between the different stages somewhat smoother.

Act as a starting point for documentation. Documentation is an essential aspect of building a good project. Often, starting documentation is the most difficult part. However, pseudocode can represent a good starting point for what the documentation should include. Sometimes, programmers include the pseudocode as a docstring at the beginning of the code file.

Easier bug detection and fixing. Since pseudocode is written in a human-readable format, it is easier to edit and discover bugs before actually writing a single line of code. Editing pseudocode can be done more efficiently than testing, debugging, and fixing actual code.

ASSIGNMENT

The SenseiiWyze app contains a series of interactive puzzle games -Senseii Games – teaching PseudoCode. Each icon is a game level, and each level requires you to “think it through in steps” in a different fashion to solve the puzzle.
