Eine Workout App mit AppInventor
Die SchülerInnen entwickeln eine einfache Workout App. Die App soll folgendes können: Zunächst soll eine einfache Zufallszahl ausgegeben werden. Diese sollte zwischen 1 und 20 liegen.Legt dann eine Liste mit Workout Aktivitäten an (z.B. Strecksprünge, Liegestütze, Minisprint, …)Auf Knopfdruck soll erscheinen, wie oft man diese Aktivitäten durchführt (z.B. mache 7 Liegestütze) Auf dem Bildschirm soll außerdemContinueContinue reading “Eine Workout App mit AppInventor”
A simple workout app with AppInventor
Students will develop a simple workout app. The app should be able to do the following: First, a simple random number is to be output. This should be between 1 and 20.Then create a list of workout activities (e.g. jumps, push-ups, mini sprints, …).At the push of a button, it should appear how often youContinueContinue reading “A simple workout app with AppInventor”
