See What Foundations I Students Build

We are continually blown away by the creativity of our Foundations I students. The course was created to help beginners get on the right track from the start of their education—once equipped with the right tools and training, students are able to create so much more than they expected after just four weeks in class. To get a taste of what you will create throughout this night course, take a look at this sample of projects from our students!

Horse Race

Christian took his model of the Tortoise and the Hare assignment and built it into a horse racing game. This game lets you bet on the virtual ponies by taking your chances with one of three horses, each with varying speed and endurance levels. Play it for yourself, and be sure to check out the source code to see how the project was put together.

Grand Prix

Grand Prix

James’ racing game lets you change your fate in the Grand Prix. This interactive game gives you the choice of tire and speed, which means you can bring a lot more strategy into the game. Higher speed may win you the race, but also means your car is less reliable. Choose between hard or soft tires, both of which have pros and cons and may win or cost you the race. Drivers, start your engines and give this game a try!

Who Will Win?

Who Will Win?

Race the traditional tortoise and hare with this game that may seem to work in the hare’s favor, until you start getting clever pop-ups that share the unfortunate pitfalls of each contestant. Beware snake bites, squirrels, frequent naps, and other distractions that slow each runner down. Click which animal you think will win, and then check out the source code.
