AI-written overview

What is it?

Let's Make: Dangerous Dave is in our Build your own Game group, a list of tutorials about making a game from the ground up. We only know the title, short description and level from our list.

Is it for me?

It is for anyone who wants to make a game, not only play one. There are Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced items. It suits about age teen+ and up, and a little programming experience helps.

Grown-ups: tutorials may need software installed. Please check before your child downloads anything.

How to start

  1. Pick a game idea that looks small, like a simple arcade game.
  2. Open the tutorial with a grown-up and read the first step.
  3. Follow it step by step and run it often to see what changes.

How much time?

Plan about 65 minutes at a time over about 8 sessions. (estimate)

65 min per session 8 sessions estimate

A plan you can follow

  1. Day 1 30 min Read the first step and set up what you need.
  2. Week 1 60 min Get something moving on the screen.
  3. Week 2 60 min Add a rule or score.
  4. Week 3 60 min Change the look and play it with a friend.

Times are estimates. Go at your own speed.
