Full Session Description (as long as you would like):

How can I build a game where a character can bounce off of moving platforms, much like Doodle Jump? This was the question I asked myself when coming up with the design question for my Intro to Programming project. Much harder than I thought, I wrote the code in JavaScript in a period of two months. In this session, I'll go through the steps of how to make this game.
