Module 1 / C# Basics

In this section we will get an introduction to C#. Moreover, we will also learn some basic elements of the C# language.

In any programming language we have to deal with different types of data. In this section we will learn about that.

In this section we will learn about features of C# that help us control the flow of the program such as executing pieces of code based on conditions.

In this section we will learn about how to deal with repetitive tasks in programming.

Arrays are an important part of any programming language as they let us group together and manipulate a large amount of similar data. In this section we will learn about Arrays and how to use them for practical applications.

In this section we will learn about one of of the most widely used and essential features of C# called Methods. We will also explore its uses through creative practice tasks.

Module 2 / C# Beyond Basics

In this section we will learn data structures like Lists and Dictionaries. We will also learn how to read and write files. In the end we will look at how to deal with unexpected errors which can occur during the program's execution.

In this section we will learn about some more advanced structures for storing data, namely Structs and Enumerators. We will learn how to use them and we will look at some practice examples as well.

In this section, we will learn what Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is and how we can create programs that use the concept of OOP. We will also practice this concept with many hands-on tasks that are fun to solve.

In this section, we delve deeper into the essentials of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). We explore advanced topics to enhance your understanding and proficiency in OOP. From managing object lifecycles through destructors to refining class structures with access modifiers, and harnessing the power of derived classes and method overloading, this section equips you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to design robust and flexible object-oriented systems.

This will be a detailed chapter in which we will dive deep into the main principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). We will also look at many practical applications and hands-on examples of these principles to understand them better. In this section we will revise some of the concepts from the previous section in a bit more detail and combine the concepts together to understand it more thoroughly.

Module 3 / Unity for Beginners

Welcome to the Unity Introduction section! Discover what Unity is and how it's used through a concise video. Learn how to download Unity with step-by-step instructions accompanied by visuals. Follow along as we create a project and scene in Unity. Explore the Unity interface, including Hierarchy, Project, Console, Scene, Game, and Inspector, through an engaging video with a quizzes.

Embark on your game development journey with Unity Essentials. Learn scripting basics, explore components, manipulate GameObjects, master object transformations, capture player input, and move your first player. Engage with concise videos, interactive quizzes, and clear instructions.

In this Unity Physics section, grasp foundational concepts in gaming physics, including time.deltaTime's role for smooth gameplay. Learn to utilize Rigidbody components effectively and implement collision detection techniques. Explore OnCollisionEnter and OnTriggerEnter methods' uses. Apply these skills practically by guiding a bird character through a Flappy Bird-style game, mastering movement and collision detection.

Discover how to design interfaces and incorporate sounds into your games. Begin by mastering UI basics and creating elements. Explore specific UI designs like Texts and buttons. Connect different game scenes and add a main menu to your game. Enhance gameplay with immersive sound effects, utilizing a dedicated sound manager for optimal control and organization.

Enhance your game's visuals by updating designs and incorporating basic particle systems and post-processing effects. Improve the overall design for a better player experience. Finally, export your game and conduct thorough testing to ensure quality. This section focuses on updating game designs and adding simple visual effects to improve the overall look of your game.
