Hey there, future game creator. Ready to cut through the noise and actually build something?
Most game dev courses take weeks before you see results. Not this one.
Get started in a few clicks. No complicated systems to setup.
Here's what you'll accomplish:
Day 1: Write your first lines of code while others are still setting up.
Day 2: Get a game window up and objects moving on screen.
Day 3: Implement collision detection and multiple moving objects.
Day 4: Refine game physicr and player controls.
Day 5: Add AI, scoring, sound effects and an advanced gamplay mechanic.
Why this course stands out:
It's efficient: 5 lessons of focused, practical learning. No fluff.
It's innovative: We're using Odin - a modern language gaining traction in game dev circles.
It's hands-on: You're building a game straight away and learning how to add a twist.
It's foundational: The skills you learn here apply to any game you'll want to build next.
Why Pong?
Pong has functionality that carries over to most games even today.
