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.

How to Code: Complex Data (edX)

Learn how to design more complex programs, using new data structures, abstraction, and generative recursion. As your program requirements get more complex, you will find that simple additions to the design method make it easy to write well-structured and well-tested code that is easy to maintain. By learning how to capture common data and control structures using abstraction, your programs will get shorter and better tested.

Software Design as an Abstraction (Coursera)

The design step in developing software has some unique characteristics. First of all, it’s the only step where drawing pictures of things is the norm. Why is that? What do pictures do that other representations cannot do? Pictures have varying levels of detail; pictures have context. Pictures…paint a picture. Why are these things important? In this course, too, we begin looking at other disciplines (building architecture is a favorite one) for lessons on design.
