Year 9 Game Development

Subject Description

What is your favourite computer or console game? Why? How do you think the game developers made these games? This is a great way to start to think about programming and make some fun games along the way. Students will use specific software that contains all the elements necessary to create their own game. The games developed are only limited by the imagination of the students. Students will learn about variables, modulisation, selection and conditional branching and iteration. Students will analyse existing games on multiple platforms, consider the psychology of gaming and develop games in 2D and 3D. The games developed with focus on the concept for the course.
