Image of Sixth Form Students investigate and develop their programming skills

Our Lower Sixth A Level Computer Science students have been using their home learning time to their advantage. They have allocated this time to the investigation and development of their programming skills in Python and learning how to use Unity. The students have taken on the challenge and have started to create retro style playable games, some of which have been launched on Itch.io.

Oliver and Aaron have made individual games Meteo-Saur and Desgate. They have also collaborated on Dense Metal which was entered into a Game Jam on Itch.io – where they came approx. 230 out 1069 entries. These are all downloadable from https://nakel-games.itch.io/

Thomas has made a game called 'Space Horizon' reminiscent of Space Invaders style games which is downloadable from https://peeteus.itch.io – lots of fun and very playable.

Impressive work for students who are new to the game engine, well done to you all!
