Students will create their own video games using a beginner-friendly game engine that helps them create 2D games no coding. They will create a variety of exciting games with sprites, level objectives, enemies and more! At the end of the course, each student will have designed their own video game to take home and it will also be uploaded to the web to share with friends and family.
