The mission of AHS Media Tech is to provide an environment in which all individuals in Antioch are empowered to become life-long learners and effective creators and users of information, ideas, and technology.
Last week several of my creative writing students (Lydia Lua, Morgan Binion, Collin Scarzella, Stacey Lozano, and Herminio Delgado) who were featured in The Pantheon and in the AHS Poetry Reading, participated in a podcast called “Clocked In with the Press,” through the Brentwood Press and Publishing. They each read a poem and spoke about writing, and they had a great time! Just wanted to send you a link to the podcast episode.

This game referred below through the link was created by Jes. He was very passionate about programming and Computer Science, using JavaScript for all of the Objects and the HTML canvas for drawing the whole game. Using a ridiculous amount of functions, objects, object properties, and constructors, he was happy about what he had been able to make.
For this game, you are able to use the Arrow Keys for movement, Space to shoot, and hold Shift to slow down. Defeat all of the enemies while dodging many bullets, grazing the bullets for more points, and get a high score!
The breakout game was coded by senior Kevin Chandra after completing the CodeHS course "Game Design with JavaScript." Click on the link below, then click the "run" button at the top to play.
