Sample Schedule

In this course, students will explore game design fundamentals as they create their own obby platformer game, including key features such as checkpoints and a leaderboard.

Here’s a sample of what a week in the course could look like! Please keep in mind that students will progress at varying paces; this is a general outline of the key material and overall student experience.

Monday

Students will modify the game terrain to create mountains, valleys, and plateaus. Then, they’ll set up basic platforms for their obby, following level design principles.

Tuesday

Next, students will learn how to implement a checkpoint system that saves player progress. Players who travel out of the game boundaries will respawn on the map!

Wednesday

Using the Toolbox, students will get creative and find unique elements to add to their game such as skyscrapers and cars. Then, they’ll design custom products for player avatars, such as shirts and pants, that they can monetize to start earning Robux!

Thursday

In their games, students will construct a leaderboard that displays the player’s running or final obby completion time and allows for friendly competition.

Friday

To complete the week, students will add collectible items that players can find for a quick speed boost. Plan the placement of boost items so that players have to strategize to conquer their leaderboard times!
