Get the hang of coding with the Python programming language, a highly readable language supporting multiple paradigms that makes it ideal for students to learn programming in. Python is considered a high level programming language that runs on many operating systems, which is ideal for aspiring programmers hoping to dabble in game design.
Using Pygame and Object Oriented Programming, students will learn to write real code for their own game – designed and developed by them. While learning to develop their games, students will learn the basics of programming – creating loops, conditional structures, and variables – as well as game design concepts such as collision detection and artificial intelligence. Students will also learn how to add music, sounds, graphics, and animations to their game while developing their coding skills to a professional level.
At the end of the week, students will take home all of their games and code projects on a flash drive.
Camp Hours: 9 AM – 5 PM (Full Day) | 9 AM – 12 PM (AM) | 1 PM – 4 PM (PM)
