Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to write and apply scripting language in authoring interactive media. It applies to individuals who apply skills in writing and customising their own code for work in client-side technologies. They integrate and develop basic scripting routines to enhance interaction levels or remedy functionality errors in interactive media products. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Investigate scripting options
  • 1.1 Assess design specifications to identify areas where scripting languages may be required
  • 1.2 Locate script libraries for pre-written scripts
  • 1.3 Identify areas where customised or new scripts may be necessary
  • 1.4 Present and discuss scripting options with relevant personnel, and confirm compliance with design specifications
2. Write scripts
  • 2.1 Scope control structures and algorithms using pseudo-code and flow charts
  • 2.2 Check objects and assets are in place and identified by appropriate labels
  • 2.3 Identify and recommend event handlers
  • 2.4 Write code using correct syntax to meet functional requirements
  • 2.5 Write comments to document coding where necessary
  • 2.6 Use authoring environment, where appropriate, to check code and syntax
  • 2.7 Save code in appropriate format
  • 2.8 Adopt safe ergonomic practices when using screens and keyboards for extended periods of time
3. Integrate scripting language
  • 3.1 Source and integrate scripts into authoring environment
  • 3.2 Confirm scripted elements comply with all navigation and graphic design interface considerations
  • 3.3 Eliminate or merge redundant code to ensure code is clean
4. Test scripting language
  • 4.1 Test routines to verify script fulfils requirements
  • 4.2 Conduct tests to ensure scripted elements conform to required technical specifications
  • 4.3 Test for faults, and document findings
  • 4.4 Use standard de-bugging techniques to remove fault
5. Evaluate scripting language
  • 5.1 Liaise with relevant personnel to evaluate process, and record decisions
  • 5.2 Archive suitable and relevant scripts for future use
