Video Games Design: Reimagining Pac-Man and the Classics

This UoS Summer School course has no expectation of prior coding skills. What would happen if Peach were the hero and had to save Mario? Perhaps Sonic the Hedgehog is evil or a dolphin. What would change if Pac-Man could move twice the speed of his ghost enemies? How can design affect gameplay? More importantly, how could this affect the players? By the end of this fun and engaging course, you will have made a fully functioning playable game with your own characters, ideas, and concepts. Will your changes improve or destroy a classic? Only through the final user testing event will you find out. There is a discount of 30% on tuition fees if you apply by 31 March 2025.
