Description

Our session will give a quick introduction to coding iPhone games. Starting with a talk about why and how to start making games, followed by a look at game made on our Creative Coding Course (our course where individuals learn how to make simple iPhone games). This will be rounded up with a look at how easy it is to start learning how to make games today. We hope this will inspire any audience members to explore a new creative-outlet or potential new career in coding and making iPhone games. \ This will be a screened session**

Agenda

This will be an straight-forward talk to a group, with a projector to show the work from students and any resources needed. Open questions will be asked to the audience to get them thinking and having quick discussions to have encourage interactivity. If we can obtain the equipment for the hands on session, we will use a projector to do a step-by-step tutorial of making a simple iPhone game for others to following along with.

Participants

This will be a group talk, asking the audience open questions to get them thinking. Because of this, the same talk can be done in front of an audience of any size. If we can do the hands on session, we will need more equipment depending on the size of the group.

Outcome

We hope to inspire the audience to explore the expanding world of iPhone game development, whether this be as a hobby or as a new job. We hope to convince all those interested that a career in video game development is possible with dedication to growing their coding skills and to provide information about where to get started.
