  • STEM Student's Guide: Learning to Code and Design Video Games
    Log In A STEM Student's Guide: Learning to Code and Design Video Games For many, video gaming is not only a hobby but a passion. But while playing video games is fun, you could also consider taking things a step further and becoming a game developer someday. There are a lot of di!erent ways to get involved in game design, but one of the most useful skills in this "eld is the ability to code. Anyone can learn to code and create video games, and there are all sorts of free resources online that can help. The two main roles for people who create video games are designers and programmers, but often, their responsibilities will overlap. While there are many di!erent types of video games in the world, all of them are created with the same basic process. Brainstorming A game designer should "rst come up with a basic concept for their game. It's helpful to keep a list of ideas written down somewhere, whether this is on paper or in an app. Next, you'll need to think about the di!erent abilities and actions possible for each character, the mood and tone of the game, and the story that will hold it all together. When thinking of the game's mood, it's essential to consider visual and audio e!ects and the overall aesthetic you're going for. Think about color, shape, and space, and keep in mind that the look of your game should be both unique and functional. While brainstorming new games, designers should keep in mind that they will often go through many ideas that do not work out before "nding one that works.

  • Promoting Computer Science with Video Games: Teaching Object-Oriented Programming Through Unity
    Promoting Computer Science with Video Games: Teaching Object-Oriented Programming through Unity By Dylan Graves A Senior Project submitted In partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering Computer Engineering Department California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, CA June 2015 Abstract: In recent years, the demand for people educated in computer science has continued to grow as the possible applications of software expand. For this reason, it is important to not only offer young adults the ability to learn computer science, but also to intrigue them with interesting and engaging applications of computer science. Organizations, such as the CollegeBoard and Exploring Computer Science, have been working to make computer science education more available and desirable to younger audiences. This project contributes to these goals by creating and implementing a curriculum for teaching object-oriented programming to high school students through video game programming. Students were taught how to use a third-party game engine called Unity to create complex 3D games. The curriculum was designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the tools and concepts they needed to make a game, and provided students with several hours of learning time to create their own games. This course was taught at San Luis Obispo High School to a group of 20 students. A survey was taken by 14 of the 20 students before and after the course. This survey revealed that half of the students who did not understand objects in programming before the course did understand objects after the course.

    VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT DESIGN AND STORYTELLING IN VIDEO GAMES by EKBER SERVET ULAŞ Submitted to the Graduate School of Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design In partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Sabancı University Spring 2013 VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT DESIGN AND STORYTELLING IN VIDEO GAMES APPROVED BY: ElifAyiter,MFA …………………………. (DissertationSupervisor) SelimBalcısoy,PhD …………………………. Güven Çatak,PhD …………………………. DATEOFAPPROVAL: …………………………. ©Ekber Servet Ulaş 2013 AllRightsReserved ABSTRACT VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT DESIGN AND STORYTELLING IN VIDEO GAMES Ekber Servet Ulaş M.A, Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design Supervisor: Elif Ayiter Spring 2013 Video games have been the focus of discussion by researchers of gaming and narratology regarding their narrative capabilities for quite some time. While some researchers argue that interactive media such as video games can not contain narratives due to their inherent nature, others suggest that when analyzing video games as a narrative medium a different approach may also be considered. Given that the sequence of events that are presented to the user are not as ordered as they are in traditional narratives, it can be surmisedthat the traditional definition of narrative (a sequence of events) would not apply in the case of video games. However this should not mean that the medium can not contain narrative qualities, it only raises the need to a new approach for the consideration of narratives in video games. In this thesis I suggest that instead of using the traditional narrative arc as a basis for evaluation for narratives in video games, one may also consider the indigenous qualities of the medium itself in terms of its narrative capabilities.
