If your child is an aspiring game maker with no idea where to start, this is the software for them. The software uses a "shooter style" game engine; therefore, it is ideal for making their own shooting games. For returning campers, and those campers that master our beginner's software program, we have advanced software which allows campers to go as far as they want in the course of the week. This includes shooter style, platform and maze type games.
