Hack Day Tutorial 1: CrystalBall (Events/Variables & Lists)

In this tutorial, students will learn about lists, variables and event-driven programming.

In this tutorial, you will create an app that works like a crystal ball and predicts your fortune. Users think of a question such as “Will I win my soccer game?” and then shake their phone to view the crystal ball’s response.

To earn the CrystalBall badge, get started building your app following the tutorial instructions you printed out (see "Hack Day information" task to download these instructions). Post your questions and customization ideas below. When you are finished, post a comment and upload an image of your finished app.

Computer Science Concepts Taught in This Lesson:

event-driven programming
variables
