Description
This course focuses on teaching the fundamentals of game development using the Unity game engine and the programming language C# with the ultimate goal of allowing students to confidently develop out of this world games. No previous experience is needed for taking this course. Lectures are structured to start from the very basics of game development and slowly build up to more advanced and complicated features to enable a more complete understanding of game development. Lectures cover everything in detail, using multiple examples and references to official documentation to ensure students understand and comprehend the material shown. The course focuses on teaching essential theories and practises for game development as well as a variety of Unity's features and ways to utilize them in C# scripts to provide students with a wider range of tools to ensure that they are well equipped to develop their own games. The material of the course start off with the fundamentals of game development, unity, and C#, and slowly building up to more challenging tasks that students will be able to complete by the end of the course.Skills taught in lectures are highly transferable and can be applied to other game engines, other programming languages, or even other areas outside of game development that require programming.As a vehicle for teaching, students will be development two different games (a 2D and 3D) of their own that will be guided by lectures and can apply the skills learnt to their own projects. The course is structured in way to encourage involvement from students in order to get comfortable with using C# and Unity.A discord server is in place which attempts to unite game developers together and enable students to meet like-minded people to create game development teams, create friendships, and also ask questions and get support for their development journey.
