How to build a 2D game in just fourteen days
Ever wondered how to create a playable 2D game for profit or pleasure? This CS50 seminar demonstrates how to use the LÖVE 2D framework and Lua to design a small-scope project and avoid common design pitfalls.
This session from the 2021 CS50 Seminars series provides a roadmap for both novice and experienced programmers. It focuses on the essential steps of the development process, specifically teaching how to design a game with a scope small enough to be completed within a two-week window.
Beyond coding, the presentation covers how to navigate the three specific 'landmines' of small-scope game design that can derail a project. By using the LÖVE 2D framework, the seminar helps viewers understand the overarching architecture required to bring a 2D game to life.
