Based on what students have learned in PY201, they will dive deeper into Python & PixelPAD. Students will learn about creating worlds, with multiple playable areas and simple patrolling characters. Students will finish with a unique platformer puzzle game!
Students create the game Monkey Platformer and learn the basics of how to make a platformer. This platformer will teach students simple physics and how to implement it in their own games.
Similar to PY201, students will be able to add features, change their sprites and re-skin their game to make it uniquely their own. Additionally, they can extend their game by adding more levels and customizing their worlds.
