LO: We’re learning to outline a program using Pseudo Code Learning Objective
You are required to plan out the code for your game using Pseudo Code Remember the requirements for your game!: It must be fun It must be educational It must allow the user to interact with the screen It should include scoring elements It should include sounds Include information about your school.

Task 1 : - Pseudo Code Basics Using the worksheet1 write some examples of Pseudo code such as drawing a house. Using worksheet2 underline anything which you might see as a variable. Planning / Scenario
Task 2 : - You are required to pick out some of your screens from your game (previously designed) Once you have picked out the screens, you’re required to develop Pseudo code for them. Usevariables like the examples. Pseudo Code for game
