[Year 12 SofDev] Thanks for resources

Mon Jun 18 11:32:57 EST 2012

Hi Xin,

I don't have teaching experience with Java, but with regards to Gamemaker, a few places to start

*         Nat Brawshaws tutorials - available from Vitta

*         The GameMakers Apprentice - some good bookstores, or Amazon

*         The official tutorails http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/make/tutorials - my groups have usually done the first 4 in a term and then design their own game based on a combination of those.

Hope this helps

Regards

Damien

Hi everyone,

I am planning for  my Year 9 IT Game maker and Year 11 Java programming next semester. I haven't taught both before. Any teaching idea? Have anyone taught Java  before? Any resource to share?

Thanks,

Hi folks,

                At 154 pages it's a bit of a slog, but it's worth a glance over and/or the executive summary at least
