Video Games Design: Reimagining Pac-Man and the Classics

About

For this course there is no expectation of prior coding skills.

What would happens if Peach were the hero and had to save Mario? Perhaps Sonic the Hedgehog is evil or a dolphin. If Pac-Man could move at twice the speed of his ghost enemies, what would that change? How can design affect gameplay and more importantly, how could this affect the players? By the end of this fun and engaging course you will have made a fully functioning playable game with your own characters, ideas and concepts. Will your changes improve or destroy a classic? Only through the final user testing event will you find out.

Target group

This International Summer School programme is aimed at 18+ international students from all over the world, including international students currently studying in the UK. This course is based on a University of Southampton postgraduate module and is designed to give you a taste of postgraduate life and education at Southampton.
