Tuesday Intermediate Game Dev Lab Fall 2025

2D Platformer Mini Games from Visual Scripting to Unity Students will explore a range of tools and platforms to design and build 2D platformer mini games, starting with visual scripting and progressing toward coding in Unity. This class is designed for those with some game design experience and will include hands-on projects using different game development programs. Students will learn how core platformer mechanics work, compare tools, and gradually transition from visual-based systems to scripting with Unity and C#. Along the way, they’ll experiment, iterate, and build a series of small games. Class Objectives: Analyze core mechanics of 2D platformer games by breaking down elements like movement, jumping, collisions, and level design. Compare and evaluate different game development tools. Create multiple 2D platformer mini games using a variety of visual scripting environments. Develop an understanding of visual scripting principles and how they translate to traditional programming
