Prerequisite: Any other TechKnowHow Game Design course or Age 11-14
Design your own computer games -- a 2d platform game and a Multiplayer game. Your games will feature characters with offensive and defensive powers, music and sound effects, in-game maps, and special effects such as flashes and rain. You’ll design using object-oriented software with drag-and-drop actions from which you construct events and behavior for objects and characters.
Take home your games to play on a Windows-based PC, with at least 16MB of video memory. Fee includes registered full version of the software. (The 3d game requires a computer with a 3d video card and at least 16MB of video memory).
Note: There is a $15 materials fee in addition to the tuition for this course. This enables students to take home a registered copy of the game design software so that they can continue to make games on a Windows-platform computer at home.
