Computer Game Design 3 - 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 3 course focuses on software engineering and collaboration. Students will work in teams to create a single complex video game using an industry-standard software. The project in this course may qualify for a senior project.
