Game Development
In this course, participants will learn to develop games using the MakeCode Arcade platform. The MakeCode Arcade platform is a beginner-friendly game development platform from Microsoft and is available on any web browser (Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iOS, Android). It focuses on letting users create retro-style games which are simple and engaging for all age-levels - without feeling age-inappropriate for older students, or adults. This course will engage participants in a progressive coding curriculum with a focus on game development. Individuals will be exposed to basic coding concepts and are challenged to use code to solve logic programming problems in order to create their games.
