Building a Computer Game
But first … we had to build the game.
We went to a game building class held at the local science museum over the weekend. My daughter wanted nothing … NOTHING … to do with this, but my wife had a thing, so it was daddy/daughter day at the class.
When we arrived, I talked to the museum and the teacher, and before I was able to sit down she had my laptop powered up and had it positioned right in front of her seat. She had also met out tablemate, a very nice 12 year old boy, who had no idea how many questions this old guy was going ask him. He had already taken one of these so he had a game programmed was happy to help.
Oh boy did we struggle. We never actually got anything built which was frustrating to her, but at least I know that we have the Unity 3D platform set-up correctly so we can get back to it soon.
