The tool "Gamefroot"   is used in the lessons. Gamefroot is an awesome platform that enables anybody to make their own video games !

Course Flow

Throughout this course, we will be learning how to create a video game all by yourself as we teach you how to do the following

• Create characters of your own

• Design the game on your own - background, player and objects

• Program all the objects in the game to work as per their design (Characters,obstacles, collectables etc)

• Hands on experience on event driven programming (Example: Start the game on clicking play button/ Move the player on pressing the right arrow key etc)

• Deeper understanding of coding concepts

• Deeper understanding of the following concepts in physics - Velocity, speed, X and Y axes, gravity and motion

What is unique about this course?

1. Appearance of instructor on screen to make it easier for students to follow

2. The logic of every module is explained in detail before coding it

3. Use of fun filled activities/games to make explanation of concepts easier
