UWSP Online IT Camp: Video Game Programming

Please click HERE for information on this camp that teaches the basics of coding so students can create their own video game.

Learn how to code, develop, and program your own video game! Camp participants will learn the basics of computer and game programming using GDevelop. No previous experience or background in IT or programming is necessary. You will use concepts in game design such as 3D elements and coding using C++. Various programs will be used such as Unity, GameMaker Studio, and Unreal Engine.

IT camp is for all levels in which we will meet students were they are and move forward from there. We're using a free, open source programming tool called GDevelop. GDevelop is a deceptively powerful programming tool that essentially developed its own language to help people create games relatively simply and quickly. It could be likened to a "drag and drop" style of code but it's slightly more complex.
