Introduction to Video Game Programming (VGP)

1. Introduction to Video Game Programming (VGP) Mr. Shultz

2. Today’s Bell-Ringer and Objectives Bell-Ringer • What is your HCS computer login username? • How many bytes are there in a Gigabyte? • How many Gigabytes are there in a Terabyte? Objectives • Given the FBLA web site, TSW correctly identify the purposes and goals of the student organization with no errors. (BUS6640.030)

3. Bell-Ringer What is your HCS computer login username? first letter of first name last name three numbers (usually 001) Example: sshultz001

4. Bell-Ringer How many bytes are there in a Gigabyte? 1,000,000,000 One Billion

5. Bell-Ringer How many Gigabytes are there in a Terabyte? 1,000 Gigabyte = One Billion Terabyte = One Trillion

6. Today • Take VGP Pre-Test Part 2 • 5 minute limit • Computer Math Worksheet • Complete Algorithm Lesson • Complete “About FBLA” worksheet

7. VGP Pre-Test Part 2 Alternate sitting at tables and computers Do NOT write on instruction sheet Use provided notebook paper 5 minute limit NO TALKING

8. VGP Pre-Test Part 2 People sitting at computers move back to tables Everyone hold up your paper Who got it right? Why did some get it wrong?

9. Computer Math Prefixes: K = kilo = 1,000 (thousand) M = mega = 1,000,000 (million) G = giga = 1,000,000,000 (billion) T = tera = 1,000,000,000,000 (trillion)

10. Computer Math CPU Speeds Measured in Hz (hertz) Means cycles per second The more cycles it can process, the faster it can run

11. Computer Math 1a. If a CPU is rated at 500 MHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 500 times M (1,000,000) = 500,000,000 (500 million)

12. Computer Math 1b. If a CPU is rated at 1 GHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 1 times G (1,000,000,000) = 1,000,000,000 (1 billion)

13. Computer Math 1c. If a CPU is rated at 950 MHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 950 times M (1,000,000) = 950,000,000 (950 million)

14. Computer Math 1d. If a CPU is rated at 1.1 GHz, how many cycles can it process in a second? 1.1 times G (1,000,000,000) = 1,100,000,000 (1.1 billion)

15. Computer Math 1e. Which CPU is faster, one rated at 1.1 GHz, or one rated at 950 MHz? 1.1 GHz = 1,100,000,000 950 MHz = 950,000,000

16. Computer Math Hard Drive Capacity Measured in B (bytes) Means pieces of data More bytes on the hard drive = more data you can store

17. Computer Math 2a. If a hard drive holds 200 GB, how many pieces of data can it store? 200 times G (1,000,000,000) = 200,000,000,000 (200 billion)

18. Computer Math 2b. If a hard drive holds 1TB, how many pieces of data can it store? 1 times T (1,000,000,000,000) = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion)

19. Computer Math 2c. If a hard drive holds 750 GB, how many pieces of data can it store? 750 times G (1,000,000,000) = 750,000,000,000 (750 billion)

20. Computer Math 2d. You need to have a total of 1TB of storage, and you already have a hard drive that holds 750GB. What is the smallest hard drive you can add and have 1TB of storage? 1TB (1,000,000,000,000) minus 750GB (750,000,000,000) = 250GB (250,000,000,000)
