We will be creating games for the PC version of Kodu, Microsoft’s award-winning game design platform. Students will learn the art of rapid game design and develop an understanding of underlying game mechanics. Students can choose from 20 different game characters including flying saucers, submarines, and a Pac-Man-like Kodu character then use an interactive terrain editor, a bridge and path builder, and other tools to create their 3D game world. Kodu is available as a free download for Windows.
