About This Course
Construct 3 is a professional 2D game engine that runs entirely in the browser — real studios have shipped commercial games with it. Instead of typing code, students build game logic with visual event sheets: when this happens, do that. It's real programming thinking, without the typing speed of a teenager getting in the way.
Across 12 weeks, students build multiple complete games — platformers, top-down shooters, arcade classics — learning the design and logic skills behind every game they love. The course ends with a final game of their own design, published to the web with a link anyone can play, on any device.

The 12-Week Journey
12 weeks · 6 modules · every module ends with a working project
Welcome to Construct 3
Tour the editor, learn sprites and layouts, and use built-in behaviors to get a character moving. Every student has a playable scene by the end of class one.
Events: How Games Think
The heart of Construct: event sheets. Students learn conditions and actions by building a complete arcade-style collecting game with score and lives.
Platformer Project
Jumping, enemies, hazards, and collectibles. Students design multi-level platformers and learn what makes a level feel fair, challenging, and fun.
Variables & Game State
Health bars, power-ups, timers, and win/lose conditions. Students learn how games track everything — the same logic concepts used in text-based coding.
Top-Down Games & Effects
A second genre: top-down movement, spawning enemies, and pathfinding. Students add sound effects, particles, and screen shake to make games feel alive.
Final Game & Launch
Students design and build an original game from scratch — their genre, their rules, their art — then publish it to the web and present it at demo day.
