Which diagram best shows the flow of data through “Input → Process → Output” for a game feature?

• Flowchart

• IPO chart

• Decision tree

• Structured English

When you need to decide between two mutually exclusive game-state transitions, which tool is most appropriate?

• IPO chart

• Flowchart

• Decision tree

• Pseudocode

Which symbol in a flowchart represents a decision (branch) in an event-driven loop?

• Rectangle

• Parallelogram

• Diamond

• Oval

What is a key benefit of using structured English/pseudocode when developing your game’s main algorithm?

• It executes faster at runtime

• It enforces strict syntax rules

• It improves readability without language syntax

• It automatically generates UI elements

How would you represent a “for-loop” that repeats 10 times in pseudocode?

• IF i < 10 THEN ... ENDIF

• FOR i = 1 TO 10 ... NEXT i

• WHILE i < 10 DO ... ENDWHILE

• SWITCH i CASE 1 TO 10

Which data structure is most efficient for storing a dynamic high-score list where you need fast lookup by player name?

• Array

• Linked list

• Hash map (dictionary)

• Stack

What is the primary purpose of creating prototypes when designing a new game UI?

• To compile final code

• To communicate design ideas to end users

• To optimize runtime performance

• To implement game-state management

In an event-driven game loop, which component waits for and dispatches user-input events?

• Game state manager

• Event loop

• IPO chart

• Decision tree

Why is it important to include comments and documentation in your game’s source code?

• They reduce file size

• They enforce data-type safety

• They make the code easier to read and maintain

• They improve graphical performance

To observe the effect of changing a game variable at runtime, you should:

• Rewrite the entire algorithm

• Add print/log statements where the variable changes

• Convert the variable into a constant

• Remove all comments from the code
