Description

This programming workshop focuses on the creation of mini-games using C++ and OpenGL. A mini-game is a game that can be created by an individual, in a week or less, in a single file, with simple graphics/content, a simple core mechanic, and one game level. During the workshop, a few fully functioning mini-games will be presented along with all of the related teaching material needed to integrate the mini-game into a programming or game development class. Classic games tend to work well as mini-games. The games presented in the workshop include mini-games based on Pong, Asteroids, and Missile Command. These mini-games can be used to target and teach many programming and game development concepts. We will use all freely downloadable tools, including Microsoft's Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express Edition. Materials from the workshop include all the files needed to build and run the games, a list of the learning objectives for each mini-game, and PowerPoint slides for the class. The mini-game based on Pong requires a little knowledge of C++ and could be integrated into a first year CS course. The other mini-games build on programming skills. Please come to the session with Visual Studio on your laptop.
