Student Creates iPhone Game

My CHS 10th grade graphic design student, Eaton Palmieri, created his own original iphone game from scratch: Taco Dodge.

Taco Dodge is a tap to dodge game where you are a super taco and you need to dodge super peppers in order for your survival!

Eaton programmed the game and has been programming (self-taught) since the summer of 2013. After being inspired by the simplicity of the popular game, Flappy Bird, Eaton started programming Taco Dodge over the course of three months.

He then collaborated with fellow CHS 10th grade graphic design student, Austin Linthicum, who designed the graphics for Taco Dodge. Austin created the graphics from scratch, and gave artistic input to the look, color and personality of the artwork.

Eaton plans on creating more games and apps in the near future.

You can see Taco Dodge's website here and download it for free from itunes here!
