portal2
2 weeks
"how do design elements of portal2 make the game playable?
how can iterative design, play testing, and revision create test chambers for players to solve problems?"
- the level creation was intuitive.
MIT app inventor
2 weeks @ 90/min/day * 5 days/week
scratch-like interface
- unity
Unity - may have to pay through the nose for licenses in classrooms

Sketchup
as a 3d model creation tool
course 2 required course 1 or algebra 2
goal as "Computer Science Big Ideas"
Unity Curriculum (screen casts available!)
3D main menu
- simple starting point, animations > interactions
- managing changing scenes
Planning - thinking about location, mood (music and setting), game type, backstory
Interactions - onCollision -> triggers dialogue
"Urban Ninja"
runs through a bunch of platforms on trees, dodging blades.
- available assets really drove the created game
"Mr Splinter"
based on a single game concept "rag doll physics"
Start with AngryBots. Play, then modify things like sound effects ( gun shoot noise -> chicken sound lol )
Build terrain, add a first person controller, add trees etc.
Teams of 1 or 2, b/c parallelizing and merging is hard
Pain Points:
things didnt save correctly
importing assets
Positive:
having tutorial videos for the kids to review
TSE:
quick to start, then begin customizing.
dont overwhelm with tools and tool bars.
provide game basics from the start: some simple environment, collision, physics, score controller
add fire, explosions, common particle effects
NO I.T. SETUP
no fees for schools
