What is Game Development?
Video games are one of the largest and fastest-growing industries in the world, bigger than music and film combined. Every game a student has ever played was built by developers who learned exactly the skills this course teaches: programming, game design, animation, physics, AI, and user experience.
Game development is also one of the most powerful ways to learn programming. Students who learn through game development are naturally motivated because they are building something they genuinely want to play and share. Every concept they learn, including loops, conditionals, functions, collision detection, and object-oriented programming, is immediately applied to something interactive and visual.
At Edifychamps, our Game Development course is entirely project-based. Students build five real games throughout the course, including an arcade game, a platform game, a puzzle game, an adventure game, and a complete Capstone game. They are guided by a live expert instructor who gives personalized feedback on every project from design to final build.
What Will Your Child Learn?
This course takes students through every stage of game development, from understanding how games work to designing, building, testing, and publishing their own.
Game development fundamentals: how game engines work and how games are built
Game design principles: mechanics, rules, scoring systems, and player experience
Programming fundamentals for games: variables, data types, operators, conditionals, loops, and functions
Sprites, animation, backgrounds, visual effects, and asset management
Keyboard controls, mouse input, touch controls, and responsive game feel
Physics and collision detection: movement, gravity, object interaction, and physics simulation
Artificial intelligence: enemy behaviour, pathfinding basics, NPC interactions, and difficulty levels
Level design creating levels, game balance, storytelling, and player experience
User interface design: menus, HUDs, score displays, and game screens
Sound effects and background music integration
Performance optimisation, debugging, and game testing
Game publishing and portfolio development
Full 2D game projects: arcade, platform, puzzle, and adventure genres
Final Capstone Game: a complete, published game designed independently
Who is This Course For?
Students in Grades 6–12 who love playing video games and want to understand how they are made
Students with no prior coding experience who want to start programming through something they are passionate about
Creative students who enjoy storytelling, design, and art alongside technical work
Students interested in game development, computer science, software engineering, or digital media at university
Parents who want their child to channel their love of gaming into a real, creative, and technical skill
No prior coding or game design experience is needed. If your child loves games, they are ready to start.

How Assessment Works
Students are assessed at every module, building a growing portfolio of real, playable games alongside their skills throughout the course.
Ongoing: Weekly coding assignments, module quizzes, practical programming exercises, and game design challenges keep knowledge building consistently across all 10 modules.
Project-Based: Students build four genre-specific games, including an arcade game, a platform game, a puzzle game, and an adventure game. Each of these goes directly into their game development portfolio.
Performance Review: Coding assessments, game design reviews, and debugging challenges evaluate not just whether games run but whether they are well-designed, fun to play, and properly optimized.
Final: A complete Capstone game that each student plans, designs, builds, tests, and publishes independently. This becomes the headline piece of their game development portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my child need any prior coding or gaming experience to start?
No prior experience of any kind is needed. The course starts from absolute game development fundamentals. Students write their first line of game code in Module 1. A love of playing games is the only prerequisite.
What age group is this course for?
The course is designed for students in Grades 6 through 12, ages 11 to 18. Younger students with strong reading skills and a genuine passion for games may also be considered. Contact us to discuss.
What types of games will my child actually build?
Students build five real games throughout the course, including an arcade game, a platform game, a puzzle game, and an adventure game, plus a complete Capstone game they design from scratch. All of these form a game development portfolio they can share and publish.
What game engine or tools does this course use?
The course uses beginner-friendly, industry-inspired tools and modern game development frameworks appropriate for students. The focus is on learning transferable game development concepts. The skills apply across Unity, Godot, GameMaker, and other professional engines students may use in the future.
Does learning game development help with other programming skills?
Absolutely. Game development teaches programming fundamentals, including variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and object-oriented programming, in a context that is naturally motivating. Students who learn through game development consistently develop stronger programming instincts than those who learn through abstract exercises.
Are the classes live or pre-recorded?
All classes are live, instructor-led online sessions. Students share their screen, build games in real time with their instructor, receive immediate feedback on both code and game design, and ask questions throughout every session.
How long does the 100-class course take to complete?
At 2 classes per week the course takes approximately 12 months. At 4 classes per week it takes around 6 months. The schedule is fully flexible around school timetables and exam periods.
