STEAM Camp
Video Game Design
Today we will be making some video games! We'll be using a tool called MakeCode (by Microsoft).
We'll talk a bit about game design and look briefly at MakeCode. Then, we'll explore making different games. There are four tutorials for you to follow, and depending on your comfort level.
You can access the tool here: https://arcade.makecode.com
