Requirements

  • Some programming knowledge
  • It is preferred that you've watched our beginner Java series, but not required

Description

Welcome to our Java game development course for beginners. The goal of this course is to not only teach you the basics of Java, but to show you how to apply those skills by developing a fun game.

In this course will be creating a "Super Jump Ball" type of game applet in which you will learn the following:

  • How to program game physics into software
  • Understand how to handle collisions
  • How to create infinitely scrolling background
  • How to create a scoring system
  • Game Loops
  • And much, much more

*This is a course is a continuation on our Java beginner course, which taught the very basics of Java, such as variables, the basic structure, and OOP design. If you are brand new to programming, it is highly recommended to watch that course first. If you have had some programming experience, you should be able to pick up this course fairly easily as it is still considered a beginner's course.*

Who this course is for:

  • Beginner
  • Intermediate
