[game_edu] 2d vs 3d

[Steve Graham]

Are there particular KODU games you found impressed the students?

Last time I tried (it's been a while) I just used demos and tutorials -- 
they were  little ragged and it took some imagination to see the potential.

I would guess there a much better examples now, perhaps 3rd party?

cheers,
skg

There are some good resources on the web for putting the lessons together and can be as in-depth or as simple as you like. I would recommend stick with level design as the scripting gets a bit tough for an introductory course.
