Games Programming Projects | SFAS21

It’s been another excellent year for Search For A Star in the Games Programming category! Working from a simple base project, students from universities across the UK & Europe have flexed their coding muscles & produced a range of excellent games

As with the other categories, this years work has been of a very high standard and we hugely appreciate the work of our assessment team in creating a shortlist for the finals!

In total, 54 students submitted games programming projects across a range of themes and styles, with 36 in the Search For A Star tier and 19 in d3t Rising Star. We’ve included them all below, and you can also view them all directly on itch.io
