Kids love video games, and game design and development is a great way to have them explore the principles behind making video games as they become creators of games based on their own imagination and playing experiences. Clickteam Fusion 2.5 has an easy to learn game-authoring environment that allows campers to let loose their creativity without getting bogged down by a heavy programming language.
Along with game design concepts, campers learn programming basics such as variables, inputs, functions, loops and elements of physics such as collisions.
The games can be published as HTML5 games, and also exported to Windows, iOS and Android, allowing the kids to share their games with friends and play them anywhere they want.
