Design your own video game and challenge your friends!  This program introduces students to the fundamentals of creating a video game using carefully prepared elements.  Our expert instructors and detailed step-by-step software guide take students through the creation of their first fully functional 2-dimensional game.  Each gamer will design their own levels and screens in the final take-home game.  Don't tell the kids, but while creating the games, they will be learning math, geometry, design, logic and object-oriented programming.  A strict non-violence policy is enforced.  Games can be played at home (MS Windows only).  Software used in class is available for free download for those who want to continue working on their games at home.  (*Returning students will kick it up a notch with new materials such as random events, health, animated sprites, variables and scripting.)  For detailed information about this program, please email info@ctwboston.com.
