Stencyl?***Download here***
Stencyl is a video game design program that performs similarly to Scratch, but with the ability to have much greater control. Since we are using the free version of Stencyl, we only have the ability to create flash games. Play Mambo's Quest (made by students to explore Stencyl) |
Getting Started with Stencyl
Even if you are familiar with Scratch programming, Stencyl will still prove to be a little bit of a challenge (in a good way). I highly suggest you try to complete the first crash course (and possibly the second) to learn about this powerful tool.
Crash Course #1 This short, hands-on tutorial will walk you through the steps needed to create a simple platformer using premade content, so that you can become familiar with the main parts of Stencyl's interface. Crash Course #2 The first Crash Course helped you learn the basics, and this follow-up lesson will give you a quick intro to Stencyl's Design Mode (the block builder) and show you how to build a simple game.
The game you’ll build will be a simplified version of the classic game Space Invaders, where the player controls a spaceship and shoots enemies that are floating at the top of the screen.
