Methods & Parameters

Objective

Students must implement methods that accept parameters and handle multiple inputs to solve problems.

Evidence

Functions with 2+ parameters handling game logic:

• Ghost.js - followPlayer() method with distance calculations
• GameLevelOutside.js - Methods handling player and skin parameters
• DeathBarrier.js - Collision detection methods with parameter handling

Implementation Details

• Methods accept multiple parameters to enable flexible behavior
• Parameter passing allows for generic, reusable code
• Return values communicate state changes back to callers
• Method signatures document expected inputs and outputs

Key Concepts

• Function parameters for flexible behavior
• Return values for communicating results
• Parameter naming conventions
• Default parameters for optional inputs
