Description: Swingpant's Code Nurdlings
For my session at the amazing Reasons to be Creative conference I will talk through three areas that BBC Children’s have developed for in the last year. These are Installations, Desktop Browser and Mobile. Each is a different journey of how to make games in that space.
In the installation section I’ll talk through the implementaion of optical flow for the Flash Maestro project – a collaboration with BBC R&D and the BBC Philharmonic . Also, I’ll talk through a similar implementation with a game made for Blue Peter’s Big Olympic tour . Code will be cracked open, and the experience demonstrated – fully interactively.
BBC Children’s have made some amazingly successful desktop browser games this year. I’ll describe the efforts, processes and game design decisions that have helped bring extra quality.
