Students will develop their software development skills by investigating, designing and planning a 2D computer game for a young audience. The computer game is to be designed for mobile, so a game engine (Godot) will be used.
Topics may include:
- Collaborative research of a game setting and its associated ethics for a young audience
- Familiarisation with the game engine (Godot) through a series of programming tasks
- Designing a simple game for children
- Advanced programming of the game
