1.2 How to select the type of the game that suits your needs

1.2.3 Do you have the relevant engineering skills required to build the game?

Game development is a complex process. In addition to game narrative, rules, mechanics and goals the visual design and actual interaction programming is required.

There are environments that enable visual game development process eliminating the coding part (GameMaker, AppInventor, Scratch, Unity) and making the development process faster.

You will have a chance to learn how to use a few of those tools in this e-learning course.

Also see more about each of them in the Online Resources here below.

Gamemaker - Requires to purchase licence. No programming background required.

AppInvertor - Open source. General understanding of algorithms required.

Scratch - Open Source. General understanding of algorithms required.

Unity - Free for non-profit organisations and personal use. General understanding of algorithms and programming required.
