Course Description

In this Year 9 course students learn how to design and construct game levels in Unity-3D and develop assets/models in Maya. Students plan and manage digital projects using an interactive approach; they design and implement modular programs, including an object-orientated program, using algorithms and data structures involving modular functions that reflect the relationships within the game engine and game design documents.

By the end of the course, students will know how to go from a concept (idea), such as a computer/video game, to its documentation and construction of the level(s) of that game. This includes coding of scripts and animation as well as using computational thinking to solve challenges.

Assessment

Year 9 Students are assessed according to the Technologies Achievement Standards outlined in the Australian Curriculum, with A-E Grades used for reporting.
