CS 491 Meeting 4 – Let’s Play

September 28, 2016 by Chris Johnson. Filed under fall 2016, gamedev_cse, lectures.

Dear students,

Today let’s do a Let’s Play. I’ve selected out a few computer science education games:

• The Foos
• Modulo Challenge
• Gidget
• Human Resource Machine

Let’s play them together and discuss what they do well and what could be improved.

Here’s your TODO list for next time:

• Continue creating your game. Next time we meet, be prepared to engage in a 3-5 minute discussion/demonstration of what you have done so far. Expect to share your thoughts and process as much as your product.
• Watch Developing a Growth Mindset. To learn more about BrainPoints, watch Brain Points: A Deeper Look at a Growth Mindset Incentive Structure for an Educational Game.
• Read The Hardest Computer Game of All Time.

See you then!

Sincerely,
