π’ This class is for any still skill level. If you haven't used Clickteam Fusion before and would prefer a class with other students, I also teach regular classes for beginners. (See other classes below for more info.) In this special class... β¦οΈ For Beginning Students: Students will learn how to use Clickteam Fusion to make video game apps. β¦οΈ For Experienced Students: The student is focused on making his or her own games. The instructor is available whenever they need help. He might also have some tips to make their coding a little bit easier. π ITINERARY: The following things will be done in this class. βοΈ Students will be coding their own games. βοΈ Students will learn how to better organize their code, to make it more readable. βοΈ Students will be introduced to more advanced coding tricks that aren't taught in the beginner classes. βοΈ When a student gets a Glitch/bug in their game, the instructor (and the class) will the student in thinking of ideas on ways to fix the error. βοΈ Students will beta test each other's games. βοΈ If a student wishes to get their game in the app store, they can get assistance with that. Materials Needed: βοΈ Computer (Windows Preferred, but Macintosh would also work. Doesn't work on Chromebook.) Mac System Requirements: OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) to 10.14 (Mojave) MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) is NOT supported as this is a 32-bit application and Apple have removed support for 32-bit. Clickteam recommends macOS Sierra or above - please try the free version first to ensure it runs on your system. An internet connection is required for installation, updates and to download the software. βοΈ Clickteam Fusion or Games Factory The Free Version of Clicktream Fusion can be found here: https://www.clickteam.com/clickteam-fusion-2-5-free-edition) Games Factory is an old Abandonware Software that only Builds Games for Windows.

If you have any difficulties with the installation, feel free to message me. This is a LIVE class and is NOT pre-recorded. This class will be presented via camera from the instructor. He will have one camera at his face and another will be a shared screen where the students can see what he is dong on the computer, so that the student can see the instructor as speaks, and be able to observe step-by-step what the instructor is doing. Students can interact with the instructor, as well ask ask questions during instruction. No writing or independent reading is necessary. Students are expected to communicate with the teacher. Communication, visuals, and hands-on instruction are all the things that I are important in helping the students get a better understanding of the subject.
Learning Goals
1. Students will learn to design their own game applications. Students will learn to analyze problems by identifying relationships, distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, and sequencing and prioritizing information (Critical Thinking)
2. Students will learn to select and use appropriate tools and technology (computers) in working with app coding.
3 Students will learn to evaluate the process of the various media and techniques available in making their applications.

Hi, my name is Raymond Mullikin. π
I am a professional cartoonist and credentialed teacher from San Luis Obispo, California.
I teach classes in Cartooning, Comic Book Printing and Publishing, 2D Cartoon Animation, Claymation/Stop Motion, Toy Figure Design, Video Game and App Coding, Creative Writing, etc.
I am also a professional illustrator/writer and Creative Director for Raytoons Comics. The Raytoons website is at Raytoons.Net. I have published cartoons in books, magazines, newspapers, and e-cards. I am an app designer who have designed my own games and software for schools and Appstores. I have also done past work in animation, creating animated film shorts for film festivals around the world.
I graduated from the University of Laverne with a Teaching Credential (2012) and a BA in Liberal Studies (2009). I also have certifications in Early Childhood Education, Technology and 2D Design. I've worked in education for 20+ years (including a few years in Special Ed) and have been doing contract teaching since 2009. I teach art and technology to children and adults of all ages.
How students approach a learning task can strongly influence the quality of their learning outcomes. For me, my approach is often very hands on (kinesthetic) with a lot of visual examples... That's how I've learned things, with a more creative approach. I have a lot of this in my instruction, with a mix of direct and interactive instruction with lots of Experiential Learning hands on!
It is also important to me to get feedback from both children and parents... Some kids have some very clever ideas! And, in teaching, there is always room for expansion of ideas and improving oneself.
I love drawing, comics, writing, creating my own games, and reading. Pretty much everything that I teach I enjoy and do professionally. I also enjoy teaching and thank all the parents and students willing to give me a try! π
