<br>
Do you want great value Professional Learning? You pay less for this quality
event due to a subsidy provided by Multimedia Victoria.<br>
<br>

<h2><span style='color:black'>Advanced Platform Games<o:p></o:p></span></h2>

Many will agree that students learn to create a range of games in Game Maker
much faster than conventional programming languages. It is also not uncommon
for students to look for creative ways to extend the platform games tutorials
available online. This PD session will cover in-depth the concepts of gravity,
platforms and also how to successfully create a moving platform.<br>
<br>
This Professional Learning session will be on: <br>
<br>
<b>Date:</b> <span class=object>Wednesday</span> 11th August 2010<br>
<br>
<b>Time:</b> 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm<br>
<br>
<b>Venue:</b> Melbourne High School, Forrest Hill, South Yarra, Victoria 3141<br>
