Grade 5 · Technology · Lesson 28

Make a Mini-Game

Every great game starts as an idea on paper. Before you write a single line of code, you decide what the game IS — who the player controls, what they are trying to do, and how the game ends. A good design plan turns a vague idea into a buildable mini-game with clear rules.
