Mobile games often take far fewer art assets than you might think. Between clever re-use, pro¬cedural elements such as particles, and coded-in elements such as palette stitching, you can make just a few images go a long way. Create a new project and import your images into it. Drag some Actors onto the screen and start developing your game! When you have something you like, preview it. If it works, try installing one of the Viewers onto a device (if available) and play it.

What will be an ideal response?

Students should delve into the initial production phase by creating a new project as outlined in this exercise. Developing mobile games using Creator can be quite efficient – and following these simple instructions should allow students to conduct a quick experiment.
