Video Game Design: Platformer

Build a Mario-style platform game with levels, power-ups, and a boss you create! Campers will use Construct 3, a visual game development platform, to code the action and design places for their character to explore. Goombas and Koopas bring familiar enemies into the mix as campers make a character jump and stomp its way through a level. They’ll place obstacles, choose power-ups, and decide how the boss battle works. Playing through their designs helps them find awkward jumps, adjust the difficulty, and try changes to the game’s rules. Bring a snack and drink for class breaks. Bring a USB drive on the last day to save your games.
