Learn the basics of game design by using block coding to create a retro arcade game.
Our new Retro MakeCode Arcade Game Consoles by Elecfreak are the perfect way to introduce kids to coding - by letting them make their own retro video game!
Attendees will be tasked with creating a simple game that involves their character moving around the screen to pick up randomly generated objects. They will receive points for how many objects they pick up in a specified timeframe. They will create and customise both the character and objects, choose how they move, and where the objects will appear.
They will design their arcade game on our laptops using the program MakeCode Arcade. Once completed, participants will export and test their game on a Elecfreaks Retro MakeCode Arcade Game Console.
