Course Description

The Certificate II in Information Technology - Specialising in Basic Game Programming is designed to introduce students to the many career opportunities available for programmers in games, interactivity and creative industries.

Modules of study introduce students to the fundamentals of games design and development. This course of study allows students to gain an understanding of games programming using the world's most powerful 2D game engine. It further gives participants an understanding of skills and techniques necessary to create fun, innovative games.

The Certificate II concludes in an intensive production unit wherein students will work together to produce a significantly complex, unique game. Students will undertake the game development cycle from design, pitching, completing set milestones, quality assurance and final presentation.
