Curriculum

Platformer

Take coding skills to the next level by learning to build your own games. In CodeMonkey’s Platformer course, students will build a game! Afterwards, they will be able to share your very own Super Mario™ styled games.

  • Learn the fundamentals of game design and creation
  • Master user-interface and game mechanics including keyboard events, timers, collide events, and much more!
Goal: Create a game where the players use the keyboard to get the monkey to the banana, avoid obstacles and gain super powers!

Frogger

The next stop on students’ path to become a real game designer is learning how to create their very own version of the classic game Frogger™. Students will learn how to build a game that they can then control using touch interface. Students will then be able to play and share their games on any smartphone or tablet.

  • Create unique versions of the classic game ‘Frogger’
  • Learn to control touch interface
  • Play new games on tablets or smartphones!
Goal: Create a game where players tap the screen to help the frog cross the road safely to the other side.

Sprite Animations

  • Implement sprites into your games!
