Description

Learn to make interactive games with Scratch—the beginner-friendly, block-based programming language from the MIT Media Lab! Anna Anthropy, game designer extraordinaire, will show you how to do everything from building a game map to creating animations and debugging the end product. Take a peek inside the history of video game design, learn programming basics, and turn your ideas into creative games that you can play and share with your friends.

Learn how to:

  • Draw characters like a hungry, leaf-eating bug
  • Animate characters—make them walk, jump, climb, and fall!
  • Create objects for your player to collect and obstacles to avoid
  • Design multiple levels to create a cave exploring platform game
  • Create sound effects and music for your games
  • Share your games online and use player feedback to improve your games

Isn’t it time to Make Your Own Scratch Games? The world is waiting!
