Code a game in a few hours! In this course, students will be taught how to use sprite sheets to create a game character, how to use graphic coding to make the character respond to key presses, how to build a game backdrop, and how to make an enemy character. Pixlr is used to create and edit sprites. Scratch is a code based game building tool. Both tools are online. If students create a scratch profile, it becomes easier to share and help with code. I will teach this process through the gradual release of responsibility. We will learn the skills by building the "Link" sprite together and then students will demonstrate learning by building the "enemy" sprite. Their final product will be a playable game. Students who share their game build will get feedback based on the attached rubric. Graphic coding is simple to learn but increases in complexity to allow amazing artistic creations. This is a "build with me" class but, as we build, we will have time for questions and content discussion.
Learning Goals
Students will learn graphic editing to use sprite sheets.
Students will learn how to create a workflow to share between platforms
Students will learn how a video game is built.
Students will learn graphic coding, which is a first step in game design and robotics.
Other Details
Supply List
Scratch is an online coding platform. A scratch account will make feedback easier. It helps to try out scratch prior to class just to get comfortable with the layout. Pixlr is also an online resource. We will only use it to create sprite files.
5 files available upon enrollment

I’m Cody Creed.
I have been a teacher for 15 years in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have a passion for STEAM education. That is the combination of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
For my classes, these ideas come together in maker skills, art, and coding. I’m proficient in easy to learn, low barrier graphic coding but I’m also comfortable with some other code languages.
Beyond teaching, I make robots and perform as a puppeteer. These projects have to go beyond code and engineering. They need to have personality.
