My (much much much much) younger brother is coming to stay with us for two weeks. He will be completing his work experience with my husband (a graphic designer), but will also be doing a lot of different tasks/challenges with me. I'll share some of the challenges here, as they could be used as quick, end of the year activities!
The first challenge is a video game design challenge. I will give him one morning to create a complete game, using basic HTML/CSS in Twine. He has very limited coding experience...but lots of gaming experience! I've made a very short video tutorial to get him started. I'll also tell him he might need paper and pen to brainstorm or write out some key details. I've given him a link to a game idea generator (though this is really for visual games) and some samples. I think he will likely start writing the story, and the different routes, then will want to learn about adding extra things, like different visuals, so I have also given him a link to W3 to help him. The following appears on his 'challenge doc': Your challenge: Create a complete playable game in three hours Where: Twine How: HTML Basics: Twine Tutorial Inspiration: Game idea generator Additional HTML: W3 Schools HTML Creating new section of the game: Put the choice in square brackets [[yes]] Creating new section of the game, with a hidden name: Put the choice in square brackets, and then a | followed by the name of the new section [[yes|new section]] Asking someone a question: Select “Macro” then “Input” Re-using their answer in the game: Make sure you name the variable: For example, change ‘variable name’ to ‘hobby’, then when ever you want to show their hobby, you would post $hobby in the game BONUS - Examples of games made in Twine:How Twine Remade Gaming Comments are closed.
