Abstract

This workshop explores the potential of developing simple online games for educational purposes using Cursor AI (https://www.cursor.com/), an advanced code generation tool. By integrating Cursor AI into the game development process, educators and developers can create interactive and engaging learning experiences more efficiently. Cursor AI’s intelligence algorithms facilitate the generation of accurate code snippets, automate repetitive tasks, and offer real-time feedback, reducing development time and minimizing errors. These capabilities allow developers to concentrate on designing educational content and gameplay mechanics. The result is an innovative approach to teaching and learning, where students can benefit from immersive, interactive, and enjoyable educational games. No coding experience is needed! However, having the foundation of basic web development familiarity (HTML, CSS, or Javascript) will help understand and implement the concepts covered.
