I did have one class on making a video game, but it was extremely basic. We didn’t learn much about the basics of game design, which is why I wouldn’t call that class a game design class so much. We made a roll-a-ball game where you moved the ball around a platform into the end zone, but I don’t think the class was a very good starting point.
