Abstract

The creation of animations was made as a subject of university programming course in order to make students understand the process of program creation, and tackle programming with interest. However programs created by students had many problems. In this paper, the formats and composition of the programs were investigated. It was clarified by the analysis of source codes that there were a lot of problems related to such matters as how to use indentation, how to apply comments and functions etc. in the programming for the format and the composition of the source codes.
