About
Are you playing only games this summer? Come and join this session. We will take a behind the scene tour about how games are designed and developed. By the end of the sessions, you will be able to make and play your own games as well as gain a new appreciation for all of the steps needed to make games.
This course does not require previous knowledge of python programming. However, experience with Python will be helpful.
