Overview

Do you have what it takes to escape the Trivia Tower? Better yet, do you have what it takes to create a trivia tower escape game?

This activity will demonstrate the use of functions in Fortnite Creative as you are tasked with creating a game that requires the player to answer a number of trivia questions in order to escape. Each correct answer will trigger the function to allow the player to advance along with a rewarding tune and visual effect. Incorrect answers will trigger a not-so-pleasant sound and visual effect and require the player to try again.

By completing this activity, students will understand the basics of functions as they relate to coding through the use of the sequencer and a series of devices.
 

Students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of functions as a computer science concept.
  • Apply the understanding of functions in the context of a game.
  • Create a puzzle in a game environment that incorporates the use of functions.
