Being finalized. This course is being finalized and polished before it opens on Outschool in July 2026. The outline below is the plan for what your learner will build, and a few details may still change as we add the finishing touches.

What this class covers
- Painting with tiles
- Your learner learns how game worlds are built from tiles and decorates a slice of the village.
- Walls that stop you
- Buildings and walls become solid, so the hero cannot walk through them and the world feels real.
- A world bigger than the screen
- The village extends past the edges of the screen, so there is room to explore.
- A camera that follows
- The view follows the hero, keeping them centered as the village scrolls past.
Bonus challenges
Optional, just-for-fun challenges to try on your own between classes. Never needed to keep up.
- Decorate your own corner of the village.
- Hide a secret nook to discover.
- Adjust how closely the camera follows.
