About the Course

This course is all about starting to learn how to develop video games using the C# programming language and the Unity game engine on Windows or Mac. Why use C# and Unity instead of some other language and game engine? Well, C# is a really good language for learning how to program and then programming professionally. Also, the Unity game engine is very popular with indie game developers; Unity games were downloaded 16,000,000,000 times in 2016! Finally, C# is one of the programming languages you can use in the Unity environment. This course doesn't assume you have any previous programming experience. Don't worry if you've never written code before; we'll start at the very beginning and work our way up to building small games by the end of the course. Throughout the course you'll learn core programming concepts that apply to lots of programming languages, including C#, and you'll also learn how to apply those concepts when you develop games. Computer programming is really fun in general, and programming games is even better! Caution: Beginning (assuming no prior programming knowledge) is not the same as easy (not hard to do). Learning to program IS hard to do, especially since this course is essentially the first half of a freshman-level college course. Meeting the course challenges while you master the material will be rewarding to you, but doing that will require hard work and maybe even a few expletives along the way. Module 1: Write your first C# console application and Unity script Module 2: Learn how we store data in our programs Module 3: Learn how we use classes and objects to implement our code Module 4: Learn the basics of Unity 2D games and take "Final Exam" “Unity” is a trademark or registered trademark of Unity Technologies or its affiliates in the U.S. and elsewhere.

I took up this course as a refresher after a long hiatus, but this would be amazing if I was an absolute beginner too! Kudos to Dr. T and I'm excited to complete the rest of the specialization! 😍😍🤩🤩

Overall pretty good! Doesnt touch on Unity unity until the end, and some things are only partly explained (and one assignment that in my opinion was too hard compared to the rest, Week 2) but good otherwise!

I think the teacher shouldn´t take for granted some math subject. I couldn´t remember SIN and COS and pythagoras. if he had given a little explanation or one pdf about this point I would have rated 5 star

Amazing course for learning game development for someone who hasn't programmed before. The videos cover enough for one to get the idea but the corresponding book chapters is where the depth lies.

Even as a smooth brain such as myself I was able to learn the course pretty easily as its very easy to follow every lesson. I recommend greatly if you want to start coding.

Good course to step into game development especially with Unity. Helps revise basic C# skills as well. Fun professor with engaging and not very intensive content/lectures.

The last two assignments were a bit tough but that's okay when the required lessons for those have been well taught. They were kind of undercooked for the last two weeks.

It's alright if you've never done coding before. Coming into it with a bit of experience, it seemed a little slow, but the Unity portions were explained very well.

Great introduction to C# and Unity. Wish it had been expanded a little more to a full 5 weeks of material, but this still provides a solid foundation to build on.

I really like the course! It is very helpful and despite being focused on providing basic knowledge in may aspects it touches very important and useful subjects

After the selection control section the course jumped on large scripts which seemed bit uncomfortable, that's why a star less, but the overall course is great.

Need to use some simple examples to explain the topics. It is very difficult to understand with cards. I hope the next update will solve the problem.

good introductions, I knew some things already from the unity tutorials, but I also learned, good way to get started with C# and unity, recommended.

Good course; relevant. Interesting examples.

Experienced programmers in other languages can run through this quickly and focus on Unity parts.

Great course! My only complaint is the difficulty spike on Week 3, as it can be tough, specially for those with no prior programming experience.

The course is fine, but I miss more documentation and resources, apart of the book that you need buy if you want to follow the course fluently.

Overall a good course, but the instructor using a four year old version of Unity and

Monodevelop can lead to some confusion time to time.

Some of the peer-review assignments were hard to understand because the instructions weren't very clear but the lessons were very helpful.

The most difficult was to understand how to run the program and not to solve it.Maybe a video for that part would help a lot new students

The course is good if you have some programming experience. But I think some of the materials here are little advanced for a beginner.

A nice course for beginners, but because I already have some programming skills in c++ and python, it seems a bit easy for me.

The in-video quizzes are pointless and even asks the consumer to read the instructors mind if he is trying to make a joke.

The lecturer is very clear and understandable. I like the fact that he assumes the role of a beginner for this course.

Documentations and defined code at the start can be a bit confusing and misleading. Everything else seems to be fine.
