Unit Background
The Game Development unit is all about taking your game concept demo and developing it into a complete, playable game. In order to make a project succeed (whether its a game or a building..) there has to be a detailed project plan. After coming up with a plan, development can start based on it.
The primary subjects in this unit are:
- Project plan -- your 'blueprint' for building the game.
- Programming in Flash -- learning more skills needed to build your game.
- Playable Game -- the implementation of your ideas into a final Flash game that can be played.
