Unreal Development Kit and The Gun.

I’ve been working with the Unreal Development Kit for a few weeks now and I’m absolutely blown away with the possible uses of it for learning in schools.

I would say, without doubt, it is the most powerful Games Design Software available.

Lemmings! Scratch Game

What’s the trick to getting S4 pupils excited? Get them to make a game! Digital Games involve all the programming constructs (and more) required for Standard Grade and Intermediate 2 Computing. My classes seem to think it’s fun but I know it’s work and that they are using programming constructs to solve problems in a way which I can later assess.
