Computer Game Design 1 - Century High School

This class focuses on creating computer games through the use of a game engine, such as Game Maker. Students will learn basic computer coding and computational thinking through a drag-and-drop interface, allowing them to make a variety of different games. These will include platform games (like Mario Bros.), role playing games (like Legend of Zelda), maze games (like Pac-Man), and scrolling shooter games (like Asteroids). The level 1 course covers the basics of game design, and students are primarily working through a drag-and-drop environment with limited exposure to advanced techniques and scripting.
