| Subject Length | 1 semester |
| Description | In this course, students will learn the basics of game development using Unity, a powerful game engine used by professionals and hobbyists alike. Through a series of projects, students will gain hands-on experience in creating 2D games while learning essential programming concepts and game design principles.
Project 1: Delivery Driver
In this project, students will create a 2D game where the player controls a delivery driver who must navigate a city to deliver packages to various locations. The game will include obstacles and challenges, such as traffic, pedestrians, and other hazards.
Project 2: Snow Boarder
In this project, students will create a 2D game where the player controls a snowboarder who must navigate a series of slopes and obstacles. The game will include jumps and obstacles.
Project 3: Tile-Vania
In this project, students will create a 2D platformer game where the player controls a character who must navigate through a series of levels, jumping and avoiding obstacles along the way. The game will include enemies, power-ups, and collectibles.
Project 4: Laser Defender
In this project, students will create a 2D shooter game where the player controls a spaceship that must navigate through a series of levels, shooting down enemy ships and avoiding obstacles. The game will include power-ups and collectibles.
By the end of this course, students will have gained a solid understanding of game development using Unity and will have created several 2D games that demonstrate their mastery of essential programming concepts and game design principles. This course will prepare students for further study in game development or computer science and will provide them with a foundation for creating their own games as a hobby or potential career path.
