Maze Mania


Sorry you have to be logged into your stu.sandi.net account to view these files correctly.  I am working on creating everything outside the district's servers, but it is a slow process. Check out www.mrjsotherroom.blogspot.com and see if it works better for you - please let me know.

Okay, for Anna, Thomas and all of the other kids that keep checking my site just in case I post something good, this lesson was created a long time ago - I had two previous students (Max and Alex) return to my class from their sophomore year at UCLA.  They were working on a degree in video game design. WHAT!?!? They were actually going to college to learn to design video games? Yes, they were taking classes in video game concepts to help them create their own video games.

The game they were assigned to create their second year was based on an old Atari game called Asteroids and they created it using a "jump to" feature in Microsoft PowerPoint.  I could not find the one that they had given me to play as it was years ago, but I found THIS ONE online.  

It got me started thinking about using PowerPoint at a middle school level to have my students come up with their own games.  Over the next few weeks I will be publishing game making videos and look forward to any creations you come up with to share with others.  

If you have fun creating these on your own, please share this website with others.  If you think of ways to make it better shoot me an email at cjohnson10@sandi.net.  Feel free to share your creations with me through your Google drive and I will link them at the bottom for others to see and use.  

Have fun!

to get past the Zelda levels you might have to ask your mom or dad if they remember how to get out of the lost forest - it's that old
