Learners will apply core C programming concepts, design interactive console games, and analyze game logic through hands-on project development. By the end of this course, learners will be able to build complete single-player and two-player games in C, implement menu-driven programs, manage arrays and strings, apply randomization, validate user input, and control program flow using loops and conditional logic.
This course offers a practical, project-based approach to learning C programming by guiding learners through the development of two classic games: Hangman and Tic-Tac-Toe. Instead of focusing on isolated syntax, learners progressively translate concepts into real working programs. Each module builds logically on the previous one, allowing learners to strengthen problem-solving skills while gaining confidence in writing structured, maintainable C code.
What makes this course unique is its game-centric learning design, where learners experience how foundational C concepts are applied in realistic programming scenarios. By completing the course, learners gain reusable coding patterns, stronger logical thinking, and the ability to design their own console-based applications—skills that are directly transferable to advanced programming, system development, and interview preparation.
This module guides learners through building a complete single-player Hangman game using the C programming language. Learners set up the development environment, design a menu-driven interface, implement random word selection, manage hidden word logic, evaluate player guesses, and control game flow using loops and conditional statements to deliver a fully functional console-based game.
This module focuses on developing a two-player Tic-Tac-Toe game in C, emphasizing board representation, player input handling, turn management, and outcome determination. Learners implement a structured game board using arrays, validate user input, alternate turns between players, and determine win and draw conditions to complete a fully interactive console game.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
