Teacher Notes:
Ask the children what computer games they play. Ask them to describe the algorithms these games are based on.
Show children an example of an online game:
e.g. angry birds.
Why are these games fun to play?
Tell the children that over the next 6 weeks they are going to create their own games. Group the children in pairs.
Ask the children to think about the structure for their game. What is the objective? What sort of player is it intended for? What will happen in the game? Is there any progression built into the game. Explain that they need to keep their ideas simple.
