About Course

This beginner-friendly course offers an exciting journey into Unity game development, combining theoretical concepts and hands-on projects. Starting with a gentle introduction to programming through Scratch, learners will transition and deep-dive into object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts in Unity. The course then progresses to creating increasingly sophisticated games, including a 2D platformer hack-and-slash, a 3D ball runner, and a 3D kart racing game.

Week 1: Game Development Basics with Scratch

Introduction to Scratch Programming
- Understanding the Scratch interface.
- Creating simple animations and interactive stories.
- Introduction to logic: loops, conditions, and events.
Game Mechanics in Scratch
- Designing player-controlled characters.
- Implementing basic enemy behaviors and scoring systems.
- Creating a complete mini-game.
Transitioning to Unity
- Comparing Scratch blocks with C# code.
- Introduction to game design paradigms.

Week 2: Developing a 2D Platformer Hack-and-Slash Game

2D Level Design
- Designing platforms and obstacles.
- Building a cohesive game environment.
Player and Enemy Mechanics
- Implementing player movement and attack combos.
- Designing enemy AI with health and attack patterns.
Animation and Visual Effects
- Sprites animation (combat, jumping, running).
- Adding visual effects for attacks and damage.

Week 3: Developing a 3D Ball Runner in Unity

3D Environment Creation
- Designing a game level with planes and obstacles.
- Integrating 3D assets and materials.
Game Mechanics

Week 4: Developing a 3D Kart Racing Game (Part 1)

Kart Physics
- Programming advanced kart mechanics (acceleration, braking, and turning).
- Adding drifting mechanics for dynamic gameplay.
Environment and Track Design
- Creating a racetrack environment.
- Adding obstacles and checkpoints.

Week 5: Developing a 3D Kart Racing Game (Part 2)

Gameplay Features
- Integrating power-ups for competitive racing.
- Developing AI opponents.
- Adding lap counters and race timers.
Final Integration and Playtesting
- Polishing the gameplay experience.
- Playtesting and debugging.
- Presenting the final project.
