My game development class

Earlier this summer I taught a game development class for elementary school kids. I've put together a site where you can download the kids' games! Overall the class went very well - all the students finished their first project (an adventure game). I had to leave a week before the end of the program and the other teacher kind of blew it... none of the kids finished their second project, a maze game. Still, it was fun and I think everyone learned a lot.

The website: http://www.arcadeoftheabsurd.com/waterside

I recommend playing: Prince and Princess (the most complex and fully realized), 7ft 11 Inches (surreal), and Ninja Fights (coherent graphics).

I'm going to be writing an essay about my experience in general and my observations of how elementary school kids play and conceive of games for my blog and Nightmare Mode.

I was really excited about making my own until I realized that Silver Creator was Mac only.



Also, her smug face should be a smiley.

Oh god, what.
