Video Games in the Wolfram Language: Wolfram U Class

How to make a video game. Create dynamic user interfaces. Link game pads. Import sprites and sounds. Basic image manipulation. Uses the Wolfram Language.

Summary
Build entertaining user interfaces with the help of this video class. Even though the notebook interface was not intended as a video game engine, the dynamic updating and flexibility of the Wolfram Language allow for remarkably fun experiences. Examples start with just a few lines of code and work toward complete projects. The examples are ordered to follow the timeline of video game history and highlight the amazing creativity of Wolfram One-Liner winners, Wolfram Community members and developers.
