Creating A Computer Game

Most of us enjoy playing games on the computer but how many of us can boast about being able to develop a game ourselves? This course will equip learners with knowledge of the computer game production process, 2D and 3D game genres, and the skills to develop a game. By using rapid game development tools such as Gamemaker, learners will create basic 2D computer games through the 'Play, Learn, Build' approach.
