Course contents
Arcade Game Designer course takes students on a thrilling journey in creating arcade-style games. By the end of the course, students will create an interactive experience as they grasp some of the advanced programming skills and unlock their creativity.
The Arcade Architect
The game designing journey of the students begins with setting up their workspace in Scratch. In this session, the basics of the Scratch platform are touched upon, and block-based coding is tried as the first character is brought into being. Students will get a basic view of how to create arcade games using Scratch.
Chaos in Motion
Students are tasked to create a game full of energetic, animated chaos. Students program characters to bounce, spin and dash across the screen. They learn how to sequence actions in order and loop behaviors repeatedly. Students can even introduce conditions so that unexpected interactions occur between your characters.
Keyboard Composer
Students turn their keyboards into musical instruments; they continue to design a game in which the players press keys to generate sounds, building up their virtual band. For an advanced student, their game could get more personalized by adding a feature that will enable the user to personalize the name of their band.
The Hidden Realm
Students will create a mysterious game wherein players get to explore an imaginary island. Thanks to player interaction with screen objects, some surprising animations can be revealed. Students apply visual effects and randomization to add intrigue and excitement to their imaginary worlds.
Treasure Hunt Begins
Students will also design a game wherein a player would have to collect the hidden items in order to get points by creating their own setting, their hero, and the treasure. Next, they will program controls on how to direct their hero's movement. Special effects add pizzazz to the game: sound and visual animations.
The Grand Finale
Students complete their treasure hunt game by adding some of the advanced features including scorekeeping and a script that stops the game when all treasures are found. Extra credit can also add a timer for a race against the clock. Now, test your game and edit as needed.
