Location: Wild Goose Creative (2491 Summit Street, Columbus OH) Time: 1:00pm - 4:00pm Workshop level: Intermediate Instructor: Jason Gonzales Cost: $25
Students will learn how to make a simple (and geeky!) text-based adventure game and in the process learn some essential PHP programming.
To benefit from this workshop, students should have a basic knowledge of the following:
- XHTML 1.0 (Understanding of basic tags such as body, h1, div, p, ul, li and input elements)
- CSS 2 (Understanding basic styling such as font, color, padding, margin)
- How to use a plain text editor to write code. We will go over how to use an editor such as Komodo Edit, which will aid you with code hints and keeping code clean
- Some knowledge of how the internet works, specifically that fact that a users computer connects to server over the internet, and that the server serves up a website
Participants are strongly encouraged to bring a laptop with the following applications:
- Text editor, preferably one with code hinting like Komodo Edit or Coda
- Firefox
- Firebug
- WAMP (or MAMP for Mac users)
- Wireless connection optional but nice to have
Participants are also encouraged to bring paper & pencil for notes and sketching the flow of your adventure. The instructor will provide participants with some sample code.
