I managed to add music, text boxes, a points system and a non-playing character. My next job is to make the kiwi react if the player lands on its head, and to make the text box transparent.
Teachers from Ilminster Intermediate School and Gisborne Intermediate School have attended these game dev sessions as they are starting Coding Clubs after school this term at their schools. This is an exciting project for these two schools and one that we are looking forward to supporting. I'm sure the students whoa re keen to join this club will be zooming ahead faster than I have been able.
I wrote previously about gaming and my lack of it so I am unsure of what makes a great game and what appeals to kids. I recently came across this blog post Game Design in the classroom - 8 steps to get started. The thing that caught my eye was that step #1 is to play list of games and there is a PDF with links to online games in categories. This would be great way to get going. Now all I need is the time!
