AgentSheets is an educational Cyberlearning tool to create Web-based simulation games. AgentSheets is used worldwide to teach students programming and related information technology skills through game design. The built-in drag-and-drop language is accessible enough that students without programming background can make their own simple Frogger-like game, and publish it on the Web, in their first session. At the same time, AgentSheets is powerful enough to make sophisticated The Sims-like games with artificial intelligence. To transition from visual programming to more traditional programming students can render their games into Java source code.
AgentSheets is supported by a middle and high school curriculum called Scalabable Game Design aligned with the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards (NETS). Through this curriculum students build increasingly sophisticated games and, as part of this process, learn about computational concepts at the level of computational thinking...
