You should know how to use Windows (Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 ...etc). And you should have a reasonably configured computer system. A dual core processor with 2GB+ of RAM, several GBs of free drive space that hold the resource files, and an active internet connection are all necessary.TOC:LICENSE AGREEMENT 3LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 4ABOUT THE STARTER SERIES 5BASIC REQUIREMENTS 6LEARNING GOALS 7THE TARGET PLATFORM 8TOOLS AND RESOURCES 9LESSON 1 - THE CONCEPT OF OBJECTS 14LESSON 2 - THE CONCEPT OF SCREEN COORDINATES 17LESSON 3 - ACCEPTING USER INPUT 24LESSON 3 CON'T - ABOUT THE EVENT EDITOR 27LESSON 3 CON'T - PROCESSING USER INPUT 30LESSON 3 CON'T - MORE ABOUT THE EVENT EDITOR 33LESSON 4 - THE CONCEPT OF COLLISION AND BOUNDARIES 37WALKING THROUGH EXERCISE SET 1 44LESSON 5 - MANIPULATING OBJECTS 54LESSON 6 - SPRITES AND ANIMATION SEQUENCES 57WALKING THROUGH EXERCISE SET 2 60LESSON 7 AND EXERCISE SET 3 65LESSON 8 AND EXERCISE SET 4 70ADDING SOUND EFFECTS AND MUSIC 78WHAT IS NEXT? 79 This description may be from another edition of this product.
