Week 16 – Two-Level Game (Progression & State Management)

Objectives

• Implement level progression
• Change game parameters based on level
• Manage game state (level, score, difficulty)

Key Concept: State Management

level = 1
if score >= 10 and level == 1:
    level = 2
    speed = 7  # Increase difficulty

Lesson flow (60 min)

1. Warm-up (10 min): Play Week 15, discuss "what makes games harder?"
2. Teach (15 min): Level systems, difficulty progression
3. Build (20 min): Add 2-3 levels with increasing difficulty
4. Challenge (15 min): Add level-specific features (colors, sizes)

Success Criteria

• Game advances to level 2 at score threshold
• Visible difficulty increase
• Level displayed on screen
