Description
Description: Students learn beginner-friendly JavaScript by turning a short story into an interactive web scene. They start with buttons that reveal dialogue and images, then progress to keyboard controls and timed events. Variables store character states and inventory, while conditionals unlock alternate endings. Students add sound effects with safe volume defaults and fade transitions to create mood. DOM queries teach how to find and update elements without breaking layout. Basic animation frames move characters across the scene smoothly without heavy libraries. A style primer ensures readable fonts, large hit areas, and contrast for accessibility. Learners test on phones to confirm touch interactions feel natural. They publish a lightweight page that loads quickly and shares via a single link. A rubric grades clarity, interaction quality, and code readability for school submission.
