Learn These Valuable Coding Skills

Cloning Actors

Keep your code clean by using clones to copy actors like enemies and projectiles.

Using Physics

The Physics Blocks make it simple to create games where things bounce, collide, and crash!

Parallax Scrolling

Create realistic backgrounds with life like depth and perspective.

Top-down Game Design

Invent games with a top-down view, like RPGs and adventure games.

Platformer Game Design

Write games in the classic arcade style.

Variables

Keep track of key information in your projects over time.

Functions

Organize your code into repeatable procedures.

Algorithmic Thinking

Break problems into repeatable tasks — that the computer can perform again and again.

Lists and Data Structures

Explore convenient ways to represent data in your program.

Recursion

Draw fractals and write practical recursive functions — functions that call themselves!
