Game Design

This page is divided into 2 parts (... or, will eventually be)

• Game Design - Digital

• Game Design - Physical

Though computer science feels like it's mostly about Programming, it's actually about problem solving, and we usually use a computer to do it. But, learning to make games (even physical games) has strong connections to problem solving and programming that make physical game development something I allow as an option in my Advanced Computer Projects course. Besides, every physical game can be programmed into a digital equivalent.

There are sub-parts within this that focus on different aspects of both, physical and digital game development and some of those parts overlap the physical and digital world. For example, 3D modeling could be used for digital assets within a 3D game, but it could also be used to 3D print physical parts.

There are additional parts to this that are also universal to physical and digital game development (such as careers, issues, etc.)

Take the resources you find useful and do something awesome with them.
