Instead of starting a new game from scratch, this course is designed to give learners a jump-start understanding with concrete examples and a behind-the-scenes look of a completed micro platforming game. We do this by exploring the provided project shown in the introductory video above. Students can choose to dive into the code and make changes alongside me, or just follow along and see what game code looks like.
