In case you were wondering how the middle and high school game design course went, we had a showcase at the end of the semester of the kids' work. Predictably, some of their games were a little impractical:
But some of them did a remarkable job, including an 8th grader that made a platformer called "Bob's Adventure" pictured below. I recommend you download the exe, since the game is short, fun, and awesome for a middle schooler.
All of the kids' projects can be downloaded from our class wiki, and a lot of our course materials are also up there too.
