Video Game Creation — Arcade Style, Introductory to Intermediate: July 11 – 14, 2022

The Arcade course is a program where the game that is created has an action for each level all on one screen, similar to Centipede, Asteroids, or PacMan. The children create the main character, which can be anything. Other characters or enemies pursue the main character who dodges their attacks. The character will score points for picking up objects and destroying the enemy objects. Options are endless, and children can create level after level. As with all of our game creation options, this camp encourages creativity, storytelling, programming, and problem solving for their young minds.
