Have you ever wondered how all
those cool applications and games around the web are made?
The answer is: Java. If you know anything about Java, you'll
know that it can be used in an almost endless number of
ways. One of the most popular uses is for game development.
Since gaming is a billion dollar industry and rising, there
are plenty of exciting employment opportunities to be found.
To get one of those coveted jobs however, you need to have
the broadest skill set possible. A comprehensive
understanding of Java game development is an excellent place
to start.
Learn the World's Most Popular Programming Language
Learn Java and game development by creating a Flappy Bird clone
Customise your game and build a framework for other games
Improve your knowledge of object oriented programming
Grasp the most important concepts of game programming
Become a Java Script Expert
The best way to learn a practical skill is by doing, and that's
exactly how this course works. You will focus on creating a clone of
the popular Flappy Bird game, and along the way you'll pick up
everything you need to know about Java game development.
You'll learn valuable concepts of games programming like effective
game loops, loading resources onto your game, creating and customising windows, interfaces, games engines, and input handlers.
Having completed the 28 lectures and 2 hours of content, you won't
just have developed a Flappy Bird game; you'll have developed a
solid framework that can be used for any 2D game.
This course has been designed with intermediate programmers in mind.
You will need to be familiar with the Java programming language and
comfortable with object oriented programming. If you are a complete
beginner, we recommend starting off with one of our beginner level
