+    * Dynamic Instantiation
+    * Code based animation
+    * Groups
+    * Hitbox and Hurtbox (modules)
+    * Raycasts
+
+Exercise:
+
+Add melee attacks to the character by applying forces. Additionally add a ranged attack by firing a bullet. Learn to detect what objects are being attacked, and advance your knowledge of signals.
+
+
+## Week3 – Graphics and Animation

+    * Using more graphics tools
+    * Creating traps
+
+Concepts covered:
+
+    * Animatable objects
+    * Animation player
+    * Parallax background
+    * Scene controller
+
+Exercise:
+
+Enhance your level by learning to use terrains for painting graphics into your game world. Learn to use layers in terrains. And learn to trigger traps or effects based on player interaction.
+
+# OPTIONAL: GAME ART JAM
+Current students and alumni are invited for an evening of fun and to work together on enhancing the graphics and animation of their games!
+
+
+## Week5 – Collectibles and Enemies
+
+    * Introducing enemies and obstacles
+    * Providing objectives and collectibles
+    * Simple AI
+    * Player death
+
+Concepts covered:
+
+    * Unique names (scene singletons)
+    * Scene loading
+    * Enhanced Scene Manager
+
+Exercise:
+
+Introduce enemies to the game, along with objectives and items to collect. Allow the enemies to attack, and for the player character to be harmed. Learn to restart the game.
+
+## Week6 – UI
+
+    * Enhance the player death
