Below are the student-produced final project board and video games from the Williams College Art & CS 107: Creating Games course, Spring 2015.
The students had four weeks of programming experience and four weeks of board game design experience prior to beginning the project. They were then given a total of 40 hours over three calendar weeks to design and implement web-based video games, working in self-selected groups.
The video games are built on codeheart.js, a thin framework for HTML5 Javascript games that exports common Javascript methods through functions and increases cross-browser compatibility. To maximize the learning experience and flexibility, the framework does not include any animation, GUI, or game-specific code.
These games give the best performance and experience under Chrome in Presentation Mode.
