Description:
This course is designed for absolute beginners who want to learn and dive into the world of Game Development.
In this course you’ll be learning about the various components of Game Development incrementally by designing and developing 4 different games.
All these games are chosen as they target only some of the components while learning, so that at the end of the course you’ll be able to develop a full-fledged game on your own and even let your friends play it by publishing it on various online platforms.
We’ll be using C# as the programming language through this course for the different game objects that we will create. You don't need any prior knowledge of C# to start with this course; we’ll be covering enough parts to get you started.
