Description

This course was funded by a #1 project on Kickstarter.

Part 1 

You will learn how to use Python – a popular coding language used for websites like YouTube and Instagram. You will learn the basics of programming, data structures, loops and MORE! 

We will apply our knowledge to build a fully functional tic-tac-toe game. We will make an additional Blackjack game! You will learn how to solve errors that can occur when you work as a programmer.

Part 2

You will take your Python knowledge and apply it to the pandas framework. 

We will delve deep into using pandas, an open source library with high-performance and easy-to-use data structures and data analysis tools written for Python.

Part 3

You will learn to make a 2D platform runner game. You’ll design and implement power-ups, enemies, game characters and backgrounds. We interweave theory with practical examples so that you learn by doing.

Glauco Pires from Mammoth Interactive will teach you how to build a Super MARLO Runner game with Unity®. We will teach you the fundamentals of designing, coding, and fine-tuning a game.

First you will design the game and its functionality in Unity®. You will learn how to code in C# and build video game levels. Don’t worry if you’ve never coded before. We start simple and add more to the game as the course goes on!

Part 4

Kevin Liao will teach you everything you need to know about Photoshop to make game art. We will integrate the art we make, along with sound, into our Marlo game!

Learning how to code is a great way to jump in a new career or enhance your current career. Coding is the new math! 

Learning to code will propel you forward for any situation. Learn it today and get a head start for tomorrow. People who can master technology will rule the future.
