why isn't there a game development track?

I've found lots of tracks related to languages. I know that you must learn the language before making a game, but i still wonder will there be tracks related to animation, unity, and other techniques for making games.

Hey! Game development is a little bit more complex than just coding. It takes the downloading or creating of sprites (characters, artwork, etc.) and running a game engine. Granted, you could create a game with just a code language, html, and CSS, but that would take a while. If you are interested in game development, there are some free resources and game engines online! here are links to the ones that I know and use.

Each of these offer free tutorials on how to start making your first games! I hope this was helpful!
