The Factory Pattern2:23
Centralize object instantiation with the factory pattern to standardize creation, boost flexibility and decoupling, and evolve from a simple factory to a factory method in C# and MonoGame.
Simple factory in Monogame Pt0129:09
Apply a simple factory in Monogame to create entities on demand, decoupling client code from concrete subtypes such as player and enemy through a shared abstract entity.
Simple Factory in Monogame pt026:42
Implement a simple factory with an integer argument to create either a player or enemies, throwing on invalid values, decoupling client code and enabling scalable entity collections in MonoGame.
From Simple Factory to Factory Method pt018:03
Elevate the simple factory to a factory method by defining an abstract entity factory with an abstract create entity method and implement player and enemy factories.
From Simple Factory fo Factory method pt026:48
Apply a factory method to create a specialized enemy that camouflages by time of day, blue in day, black at night, and moves right or left accordingly.
Extra: Installing MonoGame on VS Code3:58
Learn how to install MonoGame on VS Code and set up a development environment for C# factory pattern projects using MonoGame.

Requirements

Basic knowledge with C# and Monogame

Description

Learn how to create standardized objects using the factory pattern with C# and monogame.

In this free mini-course, you’ll explore two foundational design patterns in object-oriented programming: the Simple Factory and the Factory Method. These patterns are essential tools for creating flexible and maintainable code, especially in game development. You’ll learn how to apply them directly in MonoGame, a popular framework for building 2D and 3D games using C#.

We’ll walk through how to encapsulate object creation logic, avoid duplication, and reduce tight coupling between classes. Whether you’re building enemies, power-ups, player types or any kind of entity using factory patterns makes it easier to scale your game and organize your codebase more efficiently.

The course focuses on practical application: no unnecessary theory, just the essential concepts and clear examples you can apply right away. If you're already familiar with basic C# and MonoGame, this course is ideal for you to take your skills to the next level.

By the end of this course, you'll understand how to implement these patterns and why they matter — not only in game dev, but in software engineering as a whole.

Enroll now and create smarter, cleaner, and more maintainable code using the Factory Pattern!
