Game Programming

We start with Unity, an introduction to C# and the basics of classes, methods and variables, and then delve into object management, the script lifecycle and using Git for versioning.

You create a playable character complete with animations, state machine, progression (level-up) and skills, managing interaction with the environment via collider and motion controls.

User interfaces (menus, HUD, inventory), systems for saving and loading game state are made, and automated events are introduced to make the experience dynamic.

Hand-to-hand and ranged combat mechanics are developed, audio and feedback to the player are managed, and intelligent NPCs that track, attack, defend, or flee are implemented using NavMesh and advanced AI.

NPC dialogue systems, quests with goals and rewards, game economies are built, and code is optimized through culling, pooling, and profiling, thereby improving performance and stability.

You integrate multiplayer features, online leaderboards and remote server saves, and then complete the project with building on various platforms and an in-depth testing and debugging phase.

Creating a design, managing lighting and shading, set dressing to shape the game environment.

Visual approach with Blueprints, communication between Blueprints and C++, basics of C++ in Unreal and differences from abstract languages.

Code management with compilation, debugging, source control, and structuring C++ projects with macros, proprietary types, and Actor.

Input management, character movements, game mechanics (inventory, interactive objects), and feeling of responsiveness during action.
