World Future Summit Talk To Invite Futurists To Code The Games They Wish To See

• Register for the event here
• Submit your innovation to BetaLaunch (We were featured last year!)
• Let us know if you'll be in Toronto to collaborate esp. game developers & hackers

Code Hero is a game that teaches us how to make games that will teach everything else. In a world where we can code the games we wish to see, we have the power to make all knowledge playable. Games that teach and inspire can do more than gamify skill acquisition. Inspirational games can also help us role-play new career paths and  discover new personal aspirations for ourselves. But there is one more thing that games can do that can shape our collective destiny, and that is to show us our future and how our life choices will shape it, to drive us to take bigger risks to make a dent in the universe. The future we create depends on the courage of the questions we ask of ourselves and the roles we play on the world stage. The power to make the games we wish to play is the power to code the change we wish to see.

Participants will learn hands-on how to write Javascript and make their own video game in Unity3D that explores a future scenario. Give players aspirational choices with collective consequences that shape the future in a way that players can act upon to live up to the outcome they've played. Bring scenario ideas and/or a laptop and pre-install Unity from http://www.Unity3D.com and Code Hero from http://www.primerlabs.com or team up with others who have it. 

Alex Peake founded Primer Labs to make all knowledge playable by creating Code Hero, a game that teaches you how to make games that can teach everything else. Alex cofounded HackTheFuture.org hacker mentoring events for young future hackers and Tactical Corsets heroic high-function fashion. The Code Hero Beta and Alex's recent talks from Humanity+, the Open Science Summit and others are at http://www.primerlabs.com.
