There is no lecture track this week, so rejoice! Instead, the lion's share of our class today is dedicated to completing any missing assignments and polishing up your Course Project Game. Our classroom lab will be a simulation of what a day is like working in the game industry, so you are welcome to listen to music, toss Nerf balls, nosh on candy, and perform other bits of irreverence in class (as long as you do not disturb others).
Extra credit Game Maker presentations might also be presented by you and your classmates to broaden our knowledge of the tools that we're using and help us to build better games with it. We will conclude the lecture track with a review of playtesting particulars from Gameplay and Game Design.
Be sure to complete the course questionnaire handed out in class this week and return it next week. You can also fined it linked on this week's homework page.
The link below is the homework assignment due at the beginning of the next class session.
These links feature the supplemental material that you are responsible for knowing before the final exam (that takes place at the beginning of Week 11). Be sure to click on every link in this section!

This are no links to the games that we played and analyzed in class this week because we examined your original game designs and conducted some playtesting. Use the feedback from this week's lab session to polish your games before submitting them for their grade next week.
