Norwich Gaming Festival 2018 Learning Week

Norwich Gaming Festival 2018 Learning Week was an event that happened from 26th February 2018 to 2nd March 2018, during the run up to Norwich Gaming Festival 2018. Some students went to Norwich Gaming Festival 2018 Learning Week, and learned how video games were made, acquired new skills and met games developers.

NUA Taster Sessions
Some students visited Norwich University of the Arts to find out more about their BA (Hons) Games Art course and their and Design and BSc Games Development course. They also made retro-style arcade games in 2 hours exclusively using JavaScript and HTML.

Games
During some live coding experiences hosted by Tommy Thompson and Shaun Spalding, students from five schools in Norwich, England helped them make five games, one per school: The games were released as a series of free downloads for Windows, exclusively on the now-defunct page for Norwich Gaming Festival 2018 Learning Week on Norwich Gaming Festival's official website. Today, the games are still available via these mirrors: Additionally, a pack of all five games can be downloaded from here.
