Animation/Platform Game Sprites
LT: I can use photoshop to create animations and sprites for my game.
This lesson will teach students how to create sprites for a jumping game and how to draw for animation.
In this project, students will create sprites for their jumper game. Sprites needed will be a sky sprite, 2 tile sprites, pick up sprite, kill sprite and character sprite. Students can create more sprites as needed or wanted. Once the sprites are complete, students will create their animation/platform game using the tutorials posted in the next lesson. The final game will be published to the web for others to play.
