In the Interactive Media and Game Design year 1 class, students explored 2D game creation using the MIT Scratch coding platform. Students formed small groups to develop a space themed game, similar to Space Invaders, Asteroids, or Galaxian. One particular group developed "Blubbo's Interstellar Adventure," where our hero Blubbo was asked to save the day from the approaching enemy ships. The students developed the story, created the artwork / animations, and coded the whole game to run properly. Of course, they had to playtest the game to both balance and debug the game... and hide secrets for dedicated players!
