What you'll learn

Write C# scripts inside Unity to regulate custom player triggers, collisions, and scores.
Configure 2D assets, manage sprite animations, tilemap vectors, and side-scrolling physics.
Structure 3D models, configure vertex collisions, control mesh renderers, and bake lightmaps.
Develop interactive user interfaces (canvas grids, overlay panels, health status widgets).
Script enemy navigation tracks using NavMesh obstacles and simple state machines.
Compile code blocks for mobile systems, optimize vertex processing, and publish packages.

About this course

Game engines have evolved into the tools of choice for building immersive virtual realities, spatial simulations, and interactive mobile utilities. This course teaches you game engineering principles from scratch, utilising the industry-standard Unity Engine and C# scripting structure.

You will explore how physics matrices operate: gravity modifiers, collider shapes, velocity forces, and camera rigging offsets. With 60+ practical labs, you will import assets, write player triggers, design HUD menus, program audio mixers, and deploy a complete survival game project to actual iOS and Android simulators.
