MobileGames Development with Stencyl

Course Description

Stencyl is a drag-and-drop gameplay designer and pays homage to the successful MIT Scratch project. It extends Scratch’s simple block-snapping interface with new functionality and hundreds of ready-to-use blocks.
Stencyl isn’t just an average game creation software; it’s a gorgeous, intuitive toolset that accelerates workflow.
Support for extensive platforms like iOS (iPhone/iPad), Android, Windows, Mac, Linux, Flash, HTML5 (experimental) is reassuring that maximum users can access games designed on the platform.

Students have to simulate the real physics and collision to successfully design and code their games. Power users can create and share their own blocks, extend the engine through code, import libraries and write their own custom classes that interact seamlessly with block-based Behaviors.

Learning Outcome

Students will be able to

Understand relationship between game components.
Apply sequence and repetition in programs.
Develop variables of different data types
Design Controls, Keyboards and Mouse Events
Apply appropriate physics, materials and collision
Understand coordinates and apply random generators
Improve Soft STEM Skills: Critical, Computational & Creative Thinking

STEM concepts are integrated and core components of this course. Introducing kids to these principles of integrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths at their early ages and in the basic forms would enhance school performance and sustained interests in their real world application.

Our approach is to help our students design similar projects or create their own without just coping existing projects.
