Abstract
Videogames have been around for more than 50 years now. As technology manufacturers move towards more efficient methods to create and distribute interactive experiences, we find further proof that videogames are here to stay. Initially introduced in the entertainment sector, they have begun to branch out in the education arena as well. By researching about game development using visual scripting within a game engine, we will focus our attention on the development of a third person top-down wave-based game which is the main output of our work. We use Unreal™ engine to develop a game called Survival Knight. Details of our effort are discussed.
