What you'll build

from your first line of c# to a game on google play

step 1

a game on your phone

Start from zero. Move a character, add physics and collisions, spawn obstacles, keep score, then install your first game on your own Android phone.

step 2

real game systems

Animated characters, levels, menus and saved high scores: the parts that turn a demo into a game people keep playing.

step 3

into 3d

Take what you know into 3D: a 3D world, a character you control and a camera that follows.

step 4

ship your own game

Design your own idea in 2D or 3D, playtest it with your class and publish it on Google Play.
