Lesson
Students are introduced to game development by building a fun obstacle avoidance game. They learn core concepts like movement, collision detection, and basic game mechanics. This unit builds a strong foundation while introducing scoring and increasing difficulty.
Students recreate the classic Pong game from scratch. They explore keyboard input, object movement, and real-time gameplay. By the end, students will have a fully playable arcade-style game with ball physics and paddle controls.
Students design an exciting shooter game with moving targets and firing mechanics. They learn how to manage multiple objects, implement scoring systems, and add power-ups. This unit focuses on building more dynamic and engaging gameplay experiences.
Students explore event-driven programming using mouse input and drawing techniques. They create interactive art and structured grid systems using coordinates and functions. This unit strengthens creativity while reinforcing spatial and logical thinking.
Students are introduced to 2D arrays and how they connect to visual grids. They build interactive systems where user input updates both data and visuals in real time. This unit develops deeper problem-solving and logical reasoning skills.
Students apply everything they’ve learned to build a complete Tic-Tac-Toe game. They implement game rules, handle user input, and detect winning conditions. This final unit results in a polished, fully functional game that showcases their skills.
