The Mastery Coding Intro to Game Development supplemental course enables students with no prior coding experience to learn how to conceptualize, design, and make their own games. This condensed game development course gets students learning by doing. Students learn the theory of game development as well as introductory computer science concepts by building interactive games that allow them to express their creativity. Through a combination of follow-along projects and self-directed activities, students build a unique coding project portfolio demonstrating their knowledge and skills.
Through this course, students will learn:
- 2-D game art design and asset creation
- JavaScript programming
- Object-oriented programming
- Utilizing game engines for project development
- Building and deploying browser-based HTML5 games
Comprehensive virtual professional development for one year is included:
- Live launch training, including a curriculum overview and courseware setup.
- Ongoing live training every two weeks – teachers can join optional office hours to assess progress, address student challenges, and share feedback.
- On demand support through online forums that feature a 24-hour response time, community discussion, feedback, and troubleshooting.
