Algorithms 
Lesson 6
Providing Instruction 
Why is it important to provide 
clear instructions for a person 
playing your game? 
What methods can be used to 
give instruction to a player 
during a game?
Lesson Goals 
 Understand the need for clear instructions 
 Know what algorithms are used for in games 
 Be able to create a winnable computer game 
#algorithm

Marking 
Marks Learning Objective 
1 – 6 
Pass 
Use basic algorithms in the game which are sometimes 
appropriate. Algorithms work some of the time. 
7 – 11 
Merit 
Use basic algorithms in the game which are mostly 
appropriate. Algorithms work most of the time. 
12 – 15 
Distinction 
Use basic algorithms in the game which are always 
appropriate. Algorithms work all of the time.

Algorithms 
Understand need for instruction 
Be able to create a winnable game 
 Algorithms are basically a set of instructions that must be carried 
out for something to happen within a computer game. 
 Each rule or action that you put 
into your game is a small 
algorithm which will be carried 
out at some point. 
 The algorithms used in your 
game should result in a good 
chance of success for the person 
playing your game.

Your Task 
Understand need for instruction 
Be able to create a winnable game 
 Create suitable algorithms in your game to meet the client 
requirements and create screenshot evidence of: 
 Triggers 
 Player Actions 
 Show evidence of any additional 
rules you have added into your 
game to help the player win. 
 Provide evidence of any rules 
which have been included to 
provide challenge for a player.
