This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to build, maintain and test games across multiple system platforms.

It applies to individuals with games programming skills, and other personnel, working in the game development industry.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

ELEMENT	PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Elements describe the essential outcomes.	Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.
1. Produce a game package for multiple platforms	1.1 Research and identify cross-platform installers 1.2 Use an installer to package a game for multiple platforms
2. Develop a cross-platform project	2.1 Identify the cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) 2.2 Identify cross-platform renderer libraries, physics libraries, audio libraries and network libraries 2.3 Source or compile cross-platform libraries 2.4 Compile a project for multiple platforms 2.5 Test and maintain the cross-platform software project 2.6 Use platform-specific input devices
3. Compile a report on cross-platform software development	3.1 Identify and document issues in cross-platform development 3.2 Develop an awareness of cross-platform hardware

Evidence of the ability to:

produce a cross-platform game project

identify and use cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) libraries and installers

test and maintain a cross-platform project

document issues identified for cross-platform development.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

summarise current cross-platform IDEs

explain evaluation techniques for cross-platform development libraries

summarise research methods for cross-platform development and distribution

outline testing procedures.

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the game development field of work, and include access to:

computer hardware and software

games engines

file storage

computers running various operating systems

IDEs and libraries

installers for product distribution

the internet for research purposes.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
