Through this course students will learn the purpose of programming and basics on how to develop a game through the Kodu platform. During the class we will discuss the features of this platform as well as simple techniques. If a student takes the beginner course up to the advanced course they will have learned the basics of the Kodu Platform as well as how to develop a simple 3D game.
Course Description:
- Beginner Course: Students will learn the basics of the Kodu Platform such as how to use the different features as well as what you can achieve from them. We will also discuss the purpose of programming and how it can be used in the future. We will also design super simple games and there will also be a few minutes during classes where students can experiment on their own grounds and create something of their own with my help. Overall students will become comfortable with Kodu and prepared for the advanced course where they will learn to write a full game.
- Advanced Course: Throughout this course we will learn to design games using Kodu and students will be introduced to real world programming. Students will get a sneak peek on Swift coding and we will go over how to design an app on paper first. Although this seems complicated, I am sure that each and every student will enjoy this course as well as learn a lot of valuable information from it.
