Unity

Gaming has evolved over the years since the introduction of arcade games. In the past, simpler games can easily satisfy a kid’s interests. In today’s gaming world, kids will get to enjoy playing games using Virtual Reality. In fact, they are more engaged with 3D games. The gaming industry has definitely advanced rapidly. At KidsCode, we would like to introduce your kids to the Unity gaming engine. In fact, Unity has often been referred to as the best video game engine. Some of the popular games made from Unity are:

• Temple Run Trilogy is a set of three games made for mobile platforms iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, where the player basically does only one thing – runs away from things.
• Shadowrun Chronicles is a popular 3D online action game developed in Unity

Over at Kidscode, we do understand that game addiction is a social problem. Thus, instead of getting the kids to be mere users of the games, we strive to get them to take ownership of the technology. We will get them to think creatively to build a game from scratch. We will constantly advocate “RESPONISIBLE” playing.
