If you have a passion for video games and a hankering to create your own but lack the time and money required to pursue a computer sciences degree, Primer Labs upcoming game Code Hero may be the solution to your predicament. Players will learn to use and combine Javascript algorithms and Unity game code in order to defeat bosses and manipulate the world around them, all while playing a video game from the comfort of their couch. With no previous programming experience required, Code Hero instructs you (through lessons provided by the robotic Ada Lovelace) how to use code in order to progress through the game. Players will learn to write games that can be uploaded to App stores and played on Mac, Windows, IOS, PlayStation, Xbox and Wii.
Implications - If you learn best through hands-on participation and are looking for an interactive learning experience for video game development at a budget price then visit the company’s KickStarter page to reserve a copy of your own.
