CAS-240 Level Up: Platformer Games with GameMaker Studio

This course is designed for beginners and introduces students to videogame development and level design with a focus on the foundational concepts of two-dimensional (flat games). We will utilize GameMaker Studio to create a platforming videogame inspired by the iconic ‘Super Mario World’. Starting from the ground up, you'll gain a solid foundation in using GameMaker Studio, exploring game design principles, character creation, and level design. Our hands-on approach means you'll learn by doing, crafting a game that includes challenging obstacles and engaging gameplay mechanics.
