I am a bit of a visual thinker and doodled a diagram on the white board during Tony's perconference
GameMaker session at the
ACEC2006 conference. I did it again on the back of an absence slip for a cool teacher at my school that is teaching GameMaker to our migrant student English classes. I was really excited that in the final months of her distinguished career as a teacher librarian, she is willing to take the plunge and do something really quite different and sufficiently challenging for her students.

The diagram really wasnt much but I find that penning this schematic helped when I was trying to expain the connection between sprites, sounds, objects, events and rooms when programming a computer game. Whilst I had forgotten to photograph the white board and the slip ended up with our year level coordinators, I really must have another go at redrawing and sharing it around.
