Once you have joined, spend time in class today working through the QUEST and initial levels.  You can work on this from any place you have an internet connection.  Once you see how basic game design works, by completing the story-line and levels, you will then be able to put this together with the basic coding we work on later this year.  Take your time and work through this at your own pace.

Enjoy today's fun day, and be ready to work on creating web sites next week.  Relax and Enjoy this reward for your hard work over the last few weeks!
