Rapid advancements in technology and programming conventions characterize the current state of game development, and these rapid changes make the process of designing modern computer games even more difficult. Whether you are developing a computer game for class or outside of school, a talented computer science tutor can help at any point in the development process. From game design and implementation to quality control and bug checking, a talented tutor can bring your computer game project and your understanding of the code behind it to new heights.

Recent Halifax Computer Game Design Tutoring Session Notes
We went over the basic Graphics functions today and stopped just before section 2.3. Her assignment between now and Tuesday is to create an original program that uses at least one of each function type: line, box, circle, or ellipse.
We continued with some of the basic review requested per the student's father. Today, I made sure that the student was completely firm in concepts pertaining to conditionals. Likewise, we worked on some basic algorithms using loops. Lastly, I assigned several loop programs (average of a variable number of double inputs, repeated output display, etc.).
The student and I met for the second time to review his homework assignments I'd given him and to work one-on-one to improve his social media profiles. In the course of the session, we finished the updates to his Twitter profile, made changes to his LinkedIn profile, covered questions he had about composing tweets, and discussed his homework going forward. The student is doing his best to soak in all that comes with jumping head first into social media.
On Tuesday with the student we worked on editing her English paper, which is due this Thursday. We just had minor peer edits to make, as it had already been completed. We went over weekend prep work, including making progress on reading Charlotte's Web for her book report, starting to complete the study guide for her first psych test, and making edits to her Social Media class paper.
Today the student and I reviewed input, lists, and namedtuples. We went over practice problems and the code syntax he was struggling with (namedtuples). I gave him a few practice problems for variable defining and list defining.
We covered Polymorphism, base conversion, and computer structure. The most difficult part of the session was trying to explain abstract classes and interfaces, because those are very conceptually confusing concepts, but they seemed to get a basic understanding of them. They seemed to understand the rest of the concepts we discussed, and I will be able to teach them the other concepts more effectively through programming exercises
