- Reflect on your progress through formative and summative reviews.
Team Dynamics
Collaboration Goals: In teams of 3–4, you’ll work on a GitHub collaborative game project
Establish Your Story
Creative Goals: Build the narrative and game conclusion as a Agile/Scrum team
Technical Challenges
Coding Goals: Learn OOP by improving game mechanics and levels as you work in small coding groups
Sharing Accomplishments
Assessment Goals: Permform weekly formative and end of sprint summative reviews on game play and code
Sprint Guide
- Form Your Team: Teams will be created using personas to ensure diverse skills and perspectives.
- Pick a Game: Choose from the game options below to serve as your project foundation.
- Ideate on Game's Purpose: Carefully read through the sprint requirements, create your own ideas, and define your game's purpose.
- Create Issues and Kanban: Using Game's Purpose and Ideation create team and small group issues to capture requirements and assigning tasks.
- Plan Your UI and Assets: Use GameBuilder to design your user interface, assets, and initial levels of the game.
- Start Coding: Begin working in pairs or small groups to add or extend game levels. Create and attend tech talks for guidance and inspiration.
- Prepare for Reviews: Start iterative process by preparing for live reviews, including weekly formative checkpoints and a final summative sprint retrospective.
- Commit, Integrate, Test: Commit daily, integrate before each live review, and test prior to each live review.
