What You’ll Learn
Master the fundamentals of game development and Unity, a leading industry-standard game engine.
Write basic C# scripts to control game mechanics like movement, jumps, and collisions.
Build a simple 2D “time-killer” game from scratch.
Discover how accessible game development can be, even with no prior experience.
Use Unity’s physics components (rigidbodies, colliders) and animation tools (Animator, Blend Trees).
Course Description
Are you fascinated by game development but overwhelmed by where to start? This free, beginner-friendly course is tailored for individuals with zero programming or game design background. In under two hours, you’ll gain hands-on experience with Unity and Visual Studio, create a functional 2D prototype, and lay the groundwork for advancing to Part 2 of the course.
You’ll begin by installing and configuring essential tools like Unity Hub and Visual Studio. Next, you’ll explore Unity’s interface and core 2D development concepts, including physics components, scripting for player controls, and animation systems. By the end of Part 1, you’ll have a character that moves, jumps, interacts with objects, and performs basic animations—all while preparing to expand your project into a full game in Part 2.
No programming experience is required—everything is taught step-by-step!
