Here is a slideshow that I created to introduce the project. I discussed how NBA 2K17 is an encoded version of the real life NBA games. The programming team made decisions as to what parts of the real life game they wanted to simulate (crowd, announcers, players, etc.) I briefly touched on the evolution of watching movies at home (blockbuster, netflix DVDs then streaming.) Following that I went over the Birthday party example and the students dove right in. Their diagrams are awesome! Today we will begin working on their data tables and then the writing portion.
