C# Class Development (Coursera)

C# Class Development (Coursera)

This course is the third course in the specialization about learning how to develop video games using the C# programming language and the Unity game engine on Windows or Mac. Why use C# and Unity instead of some other language and game engine? Well, C# is a really good language for learning how to program and then programming professionally. Also, the Unity game engine is very popular with indie game developers; Unity games were downloaded 16,000,000,000 times in 2016! Finally, C# is one of the programming languages you can use in the Unity environment.

This course assumes you have the prerequisite knowledge from the previous courses in the specialization. You should make sure you have that knowledge, either by taking those previous courses or from personal experience, before tackling this course. Throughout this course you'll continue building your foundational C# and Unity knowledge by exploring more C# and Unity topics.
The material in this and the previous two courses is essentially our first programming course for Game Design and Development majors at UCCS.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Abstraction and Console App Classes
In this module, you'll learn about abstraction, which is all about deciding what details matter (and what details don't) as we develop a solution to a particular problem. You'll also learn how to design and implement a console app class.

WEEK 2
A Closer Look at Methods
In this module, we'll look more closely at how methods work, including how parameters work and how we return a value from a method.

WEEK 3
Unity Classes
In this module, you'll learn how to design and implement a class for use in a Unity game.

WEEK 4
Strings and Unity Audio
In this module, you'll learn about strings and how we can use them in both console apps and Unity games. You'll also learn how to add sound effects to your Unity games.

Problem Solving Using Computational Thinking (Coursera)

Have you ever heard that computers "think"? Believe it or not, computers really do not think. Instead, they do exactly what we tell them to do. Programming is, "telling the computer what to do and how to do it." Before you can think about programming a computer, you need to work out exactly what it is you want to tell the computer to do. Thinking through problems this way is Computational Thinking. Computational Thinking allows us to take complex problems, understand what the problem is, and develop solutions. We can present these solutions in a way that both computers and people can understand.
