About the Course

This course is all about starting to learn how to develop video games using the C# programming language and the Unity game engine on Windows or Mac. Why use C# and Unity instead of some other language and game engine? Well, C# is a really good language for learning how to program and then programming professionally. Also, the Unity game engine is very popular with indie game developers; Unity games were downloaded 16,000,000,000 times in 2016! Finally, C# is one of the programming languages you can use in the Unity environment. This course doesn't assume you have any previous programming experience. Don't worry if you've never written code before; we'll start at the very beginning and work our way up to building small games by the end of the course. Throughout the course you'll learn core programming concepts that apply to lots of programming languages, including C#, and you'll also learn how to apply those concepts when you develop games. Computer programming is really fun in general, and programming games is even better! Caution: Beginning (assuming no prior programming knowledge) is not the same as easy (not hard to do). Learning to program IS hard to do, especially since this course is essentially the first half of a freshman-level college course. Meeting the course challenges while you master the material will be rewarding to you, but doing that will require hard work and maybe even a few expletives along the way. Module 1: Write your first C# console application and Unity script Module 2: Learn how we store data in our programs Module 3: Learn how we use classes and objects to implement our code Module 4: Learn the basics of Unity 2D games and take "Final Exam" “Unity” is a trademark or registered trademark of Unity Technologies or its affiliates in the U.S. and elsewhere.

I took up this course as a refresher after a long hiatus, but this would be amazing if I was an absolute beginner too! Kudos to Dr. T and I'm excited to complete the rest of the specialization! 😍😍🤩🤩

This is a fine course to learn about Unity and the principles of OO programming. On the other hand, it does not emphasize the fundamentals of programming itself. This is fine if you are not really interested in C#. Dr. T. is a very nice guy and I haven't seen such in-video quizzes in Coursera yet.

Great course. The professor is very friendly and explains things very well. The only reason this is not a 5 star is because sometimes he doesn't explain everything and you have to search on the Internet to grasp the things he uses while coding. Other than that very good course

I' am new to the Unity and C# programming. This course gives introductory information on both of these areas. I expected more from the course in terms of coding lectures. Since this course has a specialization I am sure ı can get more experience in coding in the next course.

Hello. The course is good, but has some problem

Firstly, it's autograder. It's not smart. I was doing the tasks for long time. for example, it don't apply my work, cus i write space after task(I writed WriteLine in the last string, But it want me to write just Write)

If you are beginner in programming, this course is well suited. It starts with very basics and explains well. It gives you some time to understand as well. If you have a bit of programming experience, then it would be too basics, you can go through the weeks quickly.

This is a very good course to take in order to understand programming in C# and using the Unity game engine. This course will help you understand the basics of coding in C#. I would totally advice you to take this course if you want to master game development.

Muy buen curso para introducirse a Unity, aunque un ejercicio nos pedían usar la clase Time sin habernos si quiera mencionado antes esa clase en el curso, sin embargo, buscando en la documentación lo pude resolver, después de eso, satisfecho con el curso.

This course gained basic knowledge of Unity and C# Programming. But the course is still need to update with new knowledge like manipulating audio and animations so that we can learn how to make a basic arcade game after learning this course.

It was a great course. Dr. T is an amazing and entertaining teacher. the slight problem I had with the course is the amount of unity classes and methods used, sometimes it was a bit overwhelming. Other than that it was a great experience.

I had a little background experience with programming before, but I must say, the assignments towards the end get a little challenging and I struggled for a few hours because there was not much clarification. But nothing impossible.

I like the course, but felt that the final exam was a bit tame. A 'you did it' video might be nice, but I still enjoyed the course despite having wanted one regarding C# with WEB development, not GAME development.

I learned a lot, but the course felt somewhat disjointed. It was really helpful to have the guidance of the course though, and I feel like I could start to make a game now with what I learned if I really wanted!

Good introduction to game scripting with Unity. Felt there is more scope to introduce difficulty in the programming assignments and exercises. Video quizzes where pointless and not witty enough to be worth it

Overall pretty good! Doesnt touch on Unity unity until the end, and some things are only partly explained (and one assignment that in my opinion was too hard compared to the rest, Week 2) but good otherwise!

I think the teacher shouldn´t take for granted some math subject. I couldn´t remember SIN and COS and pythagoras. if he had given a little explanation or one pdf about this point I would have rated 5 star

Amazing course for learning game development for someone who hasn't programmed before. The videos cover enough for one to get the idea but the corresponding book chapters is where the depth lies.

Thanks for helping me to understand coding and actually boosting my confidence with the various assignments, This was my first step in coding world and I think it was in the right direction

Great.

As all good lecturer you love their lecture for inspiration and good teaching, but have the assignment as they push you beyouind the notch of what was cover in class...

Even as a smooth brain such as myself I was able to learn the course pretty easily as its very easy to follow every lesson. I recommend greatly if you want to start coding.

Good course to step into game development especially with Unity. Helps revise basic C# skills as well. Fun professor with engaging and not very intensive content/lectures.

The last two assignments were a bit tough but that's okay when the required lessons for those have been well taught. They were kind of undercooked for the last two weeks.

It's alright if you've never done coding before. Coming into it with a bit of experience, it seemed a little slow, but the Unity portions were explained very well.

Great introduction to C# and Unity. Wish it had been expanded a little more to a full 5 weeks of material, but this still provides a solid foundation to build on.

I really like the course! It is very helpful and despite being focused on providing basic knowledge in may aspects it touches very important and useful subjects

After the selection control section the course jumped on large scripts which seemed bit uncomfortable, that's why a star less, but the overall course is great.
