Learning to make games teaches how to turn wild ideas into playable realities, where characters jump, enemies chase, and levels surprise players with clever challenges and hidden secrets.<\/p><p>Adventurers will create their own 2D games filled with action, puzzles, and challenges they design. Students experiment with game mechanics while discovering how to make characters move smoothly, enemies behave smartly, and levels that surprise and engage players. Their ProjectFUN game becomes an adventure they code and build, proving they can create games worth playing again and again.<\/p><p><em>Projects in this workshop may include: Developing a playable top-down maze game and programming a complex falling platformer game. <\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <div  data-lazy=\"1\"

Learning to make games teaches how to turn wild ideas into playable realities, where characters jump, enemies chase, and levels surprise players with clever challenges and hidden secrets.<\/p><p>Adventurers will create their own 2D games filled with action, puzzles, and challenges they design. Students experiment with game mechanics while discovering how to make characters move smoothly, enemies behave smartly, and levels that surprise and engage players. Their ProjectFUN game becomes an adventure they code and build, proving they can create games worth playing again and again.<\/p><p><em>Projects in this workshop may include: Developing a playable top-down maze game and programming a complex falling platformer game. <\/em><\/p>\n<ul><li><h4>A Few of the Topics Covered in this Course<\/h4><ul><li>Core engagement principles<\/li><li>How to design and develop characters and cameras<\/li><li>Persistence and core system controllers<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><h4>Technologies Used in this Course<\/h4><ul><li>GDScript programming language<\/li><li><em>Godot<\/em> game engine <\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><h4>Faculty and Guests<\/h4><ul><li>This workshop's curriculum has been reviewed by a <a href=\"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/about\/our-team\/faculty-advisors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">panel of college-level faculty<\/a> from DigiPen Institute of Technology to ensure its relevance and appropriateness for students aged 9\u201313.<\/li><li>As with every Open World workshop, a <a href=\"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/about\/our-team\/industry-guests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special visit by an industry guest<\/a> has been arranged to help students see the connection between their workshop and real-world careers.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n<ul><li>Core engagement principles<\/li><li>How to design and develop characters and cameras<\/li><li>Persistence and core system controllers<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul><li>GDScript programming language<\/li><li><em>Godot<\/em> game engine <\/li><\/ul>\n<ul><li>This workshop's curriculum has been reviewed by a <a href=\"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/about\/our-team\/faculty-advisors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">panel of college-level faculty<\/a> from DigiPen Institute of Technology to ensure its relevance and appropriateness for students aged 9\u201313.<\/li><li>As with every Open World workshop, a <a href=\"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/about\/our-team\/industry-guests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">special visit by an industry guest<\/a> has been arranged to help students see the connection between their workshop and real-world careers.<\/li><\/ul>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/workshop\/9451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/workshop"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/workshop"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"agegroup","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/agegroup?post=9451"},{"taxonomy":"locations","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/locations?post=9451"},{"taxonomy":"sessions","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sessions?post=9451"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=9451"},{"taxonomy":"event","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event?post=9451"},{"taxonomy":"technology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yourplanbproductions.com\/openworld\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/technology?post=9451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
