Video Game Design/Developers

So, a recent development in Michigan is that Unity and C# we're not included in the approved state credentials. I just took over an extremely robust program and offer a Game Development course that was in the process of being developed as a Unity/C# course. 

Id like to convert it to a Python/Pygame/Panda 3D course. Does know if any curriculum or materials that could work for this?

Id hate to have to develop it all my self. Even with GPT, it'll take some time.

How about making it a C++ class using The Unreal Engine and aligning it to the beginning C++  EPD ? There is a lot more curriculum available so you won't have to do all the heavy lifting yourself.   https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/students-and-schools   Steve Issacs is their Director of Education X @mr_issacs   He taught Game Design in New Jersey for years. He can help you get your course up and running  Tell him I send you.

What would you all recommend for a HS senior to work independently who is interested in game design?  I won't be able advise the student, nor do I know GD myself.  The student is a perfectionist and is a very good programmer (or at least a very good tutorial follower).

@Brian Bautista, would you recommend https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-code ?

I often refer students to the following Website - Oregon Game Project Challenge - Resources

The website itself is geared towards an Oregon HS Game Development Showcase. The resources page has a load of resources related to 2D & 3D Game Engine options, places to learn coding skills, places to learn game design concepts (The Extra Credits Youtube channel is pretty awesome), Project Management, and Art, Sound, and Video tools for creating and using premade assets.

The site won't tell you how to create a game, but will point you to places that will teach it in various ways and through various platforms.
