Making retro games is an interesting way to explore systems thinking. MakeCode Arcade is a block based coding system similar to Scratch but especially for making retro games. This course has additions which let us explore some systems concepts using the games we create.
Topics explored: Practical coding experience, systems concepts, screen time and gaming social norms.
Software used: MakeCode Arcade
Project status: Ready to go. Tried and Tested
Notes for Improvement: More work would be welcome to polish the resources, proof read them and get them ready for physical printing as cards.
