May, 03 - Jun, 07
COURSE OVERVIEW
About the course
In a course of 5 weeks you will learn step by step the various principles and approaches in the development of complex, multi-scene games. You’ll get the tools to develop an flexible navigation systems, to correctly transfer data between scenes, to use scenes as independent reusable components, and to implement flows and sequences.
What you'll learn
Multi-Scene games. Dividing the game to individual scenes, organizing smooth transitions between them and transferring the data from one scene to another.
Design Patterns. How .NET memory management works, mechanism of object reference counting, instance and static objects

SYLLABUS
5 weeks
WEEK 1
Scene Navigation and Flows
We will create a convenient and advanced navigation system. Asynchronous coding technique will be widely used for the sake of smooth transitions between game scenes.
WEEK 2
Cross-scene functionality
It is quite often necessary to use a certain functionality in various scenes. For instance, sometimes a pop-up needs to be shown on the game loading screen, while exactly the same pop-up has to appear during the gameplay. We will teach you how to take a common functionality to a separate scene and share it between others.
WEEK 3
Passing data between the scenes
We will teach you the correct technique of transferring data from one scene to another. The process of data transporting is highly important and requires a good understanding of the technical aspects, such as memory management and reference counting.
WEEK 4
Building a gameplay
We’ll create a gameplay level that will receive the parameters transferred from another scenes. In addition we will introduce you to the common design patterns that are widely used in creating the gameplay.
WEEK 5
Building gameplay event bus / messenger
In any game there’s a significant amount of events happening. We will learn a technique of organizing and streaming them to the relevant object or broadcasting to the groups of receivers.
THE PROJECT
During the course we will create a game that consists of 7 scenes and an advanced navigation system. We will learn various techniques that will enable us to use certain objects from a certain scene in another one, and also ways of transferring data between the scenes.
The learning process is simple and effective. It aims for the best material implementation. Every week of the course is built in the following way:
Watch and Learn
Attend a weekly online lesson, learn by watching, pay attention to the presented code examples and ask questions.
Exercise
Do the exercises, implementing the learned materials while coding.
Code Review
We will check your work and give you suggestions for improving your code.
Improve
Take the recommendations in account, upgrade your code and sharpen your skills.
