Game Development

Any ideas for where to learn game design?

Hi there, I've completed the How to make a Video Game course with Nick Pettit about a month ago. I'm now working on the mobile game design course. Basically I have a helicopter that is completely finished and animated (the propeller moves rapidly), but I need a way to code it. I placed the completed helicopter asset in Unity, and sure enough, the asset executes the correct animation. Does anyone have any suggestions on a course, or some source of help I could obtain to working on this project as coding and scripts go? I hope I'm not missing something in the huge world of coding... Thanks all!

Hello Gabriel Donley.

First of all, welcome to the huge world of coding. Well, funny enough. Take the actual class 'Game Development'. But the Unity engine runs in C# (C sharp) and ECMAScript (JavaScript inspired syntax) and Boo (Python inspired syntax). Hopefully that gives you a start.

Sincerely, -Farouk

Hey Farouk, Ok, thanks alot! I wasn't really sure about that. Anyway, to go into more detail, I've create script components to my game objects, but other than Nick's course (how to make a video game...which is great!) where could I find good places to learn about what makes my character go up and down? Thanks!

Oh okay. You see, I am not in the Game industry. I develop apps and websites but there is always lynda.com.
