I teach intro to programming at an art school and every semester the number of students interested in building games grows. Their work definitely demonstrates that building games (or any project you care about!) is a great way to learn. They’ve built impressive games of many different kinds, from side scrollers, to escape rooms, and visual novels.
I teach p5.js for most of the semester, so I encourage my students who are building games to use an open source library built on top of it called p5.play. It simplifies things like collision detection and animation, and provides a physics engine. I’ve had several students express an interest in learning unity, but I know from firsthand experience how challenging it can be - definitely looking forward to what Endless will build.
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your experience Zoe. Do you have any recommendations for people looking to explore p5.js and looking to start their own games?
Love this post. Would be great to chat to the guys at Endless.I just wondered if you or anyone in your network might be able to introduce us to investors who are interested in an innovative mobile edtech game. Our edtech pivots have eventually led us to a really exciting game concept that hides learning within a deeply immersive adventure game where the flow of gaming neatly coincides with the flow of learning/quizzing. We are partnered with the publishers of the Beast Quest book series for branding and the studio Stepico for the build. We are now looking to structure a seed round.
