Synopsis

Video games make ideal computer science projects. They are fun to make, and computer science should be fun, right? However, the mark scheme needs to cater for a wide range of different projects from planetary orbit simulations to automatic rodent traps. Therefore, it can be difficult for students to understand how to apply the mark scheme to their project. For example, how is a video game amenable to a computational approach? Clearly games are, but how can you describe it? This book provides a comprehensive explanation of each aspect of the mark scheme and how it can be applied to a video game. Defold is an ideal IDE for use at A Level because it gives you a solid framework for games development but leaves you plenty of room to create your own algorithms in Lua too. With Defold, you are able to create a highly polished game using industry standard techniques. Defold is an IDE for the Lua programming language which is already approved by the examination board. This book has been fully endorsed by the Defold Foundation with a foreword written by Björn Ritzl himself! Used together with Craig’n’Dave resources for developing games in the Defold IDE, students have everything they need to be independent and successful.Completely indispensable for all OCR A Level students writing a computer game for their unit 3 programming project. The book is just as applicable for students using other languages such as C#, C++ and Java. Craig Sargent and David Hillyard are two experienced classroom teachers. Both with a degree in Computer Science, and over 30 years’ experience teaching in comprehensive secondary schools in England. Every year the programming projects our students produce receive high praise from moderators. Our aim is to help both teachers and students by creating the very best resources. Craig’n’Dave support teachers with thousands of classroom resources for teaching GCSE and A level Computer Science courses.
