Welcome to Milwee Middle School Gaming class!
My name is Mrs. Hesse
I will be your teacher this semester!
There are so many things you will learn this year!
Playing video games is fun and creating them is even more fun! But it requires planning on many levels.
Objectives:
What will you learn to do during this course?
1. You will brainstorm ideas for your video game through journals and sketches
2. You will develop your ideas using storyboards and scripts (drawing and writing)
3. You will execute your plan through introductory computer programming
4. You will present your finished original game to the class and sell it!
Process:
How will you achieve this?
1. You will collaborate with your classmate in brainstorming sessions to create scripts, characters, and environments.
2. You will use computer software such as Alice 2.0 and Simple Code Works to practice making 3-d and 2-d games. This will teach you the basic language and structure of computer programing using similified coding language.
4. You will create original projects based on what you learn in the exercises and tutorials
There will be a quiz each Friday on the material covered in class that week. These quizzes will include vocabulary words and concepts that you have learned.
