Coding games
Design and make your own computer game
Computer coding is the use of computer programming languages to give computers and machines a set of instructions on what actions to perform. It’s how humans communicate with machines. It’s what allows us to create apps (applications).
In this resource created with Archives of IT learners can design and create their own computer game in Scratch then swap and play with their friends!
Activity: Coding games
