CREATING YOUR OWN GAME

Your objective

You have been asked to take part in an international project between schools in the UK and Sweden. A university would like you to help them identify what features/aspects of Kodu/Scratch you like and will help you create your game. You have spent the last term (since January) working on two different pieces of game creation software (Kodu and Scratch). You have learnt how to make a racing game and a game of pong.You are now going to be given the task of creating your own game. You can create your game via Kodu or Scratch. This is a difficult decision I know, so I have created this booklet to help you along the way. We are going to be working through this booklet together, to help us decide which piece of software we are going to use.
