[Report] Programming Lab in Roppongi

Reprinted from the PEG page, a programming education project promoted by CANAVS.

*********************************************

Today’s Programming Lab in Roppongi focused on creating “edge-of-your-seat” games using variable blocks.
After learning the basics of variables in the first half, the second half featured team-based
brainstorming and free creation time to decide what kind of “edge-of-your-seat” experiences they wanted to create!

"Make movement 1,000 times faster," "Make enemies swell up," "Have items appear,
" "Set a time limit to trigger a 'Game Over,'" "Introduce Minecraft-style zombies," and so on—there are so many
unique ideas! We’ll brainstorm and share these ideas to help each of us develop the
vision we want to create.
