Computer Game Design 2 - Hillsboro 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 2 course expands on concepts of data types and scripting. Students begin working in a 3D environment in the 2nd level course.
