What is Stencyl?

Stencyl is a video game design program that performs similarly to Scratch, but with the ability to have much greater control. Since we are using the free version of Stencyl, we only have the ability to create games for the computer.

Getting Started with Stencyl

Even if you are familiar with Scratch programming, Stencyl will still prove to be a little bit of a challenge (in a good way).

Crash Course #2

This follow-up lesson will give you a quick intro to Stencyl's Design Mode (the block builder) and show you how to build a simple game. The game you’ll build will be a simplified version of the classic game Space Invaders.
