About this event

This camp will deliver a focused 3-day games development experience. Attendees will work staff and student helpers to develop a playable 2D game of their own design. This camp builds on previous workshops delivered in IT Sligo during Science Week and Engineering Week over the past eight years, all of which have been extremely popular with attendees.

Each day of the camp will focus on a different aspect of games development (Content, Programming and Game Design).
