Builds a game in Unity

Original Description

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Dive into game development with Unity 6 and bring your first Android games to life. You'll learn to build engaging 2D and 3D games from scratch using Unity’s powerful engine, while strengthening your programming skills with a crash course in C#. Whether it's scripting dynamic gameplay mechanics or designing immersive environments, this course offers a complete hands-on journey. Starting with setting up Unity and Visual Studio, you'll gradually build simple tap shooters and progress to more complex games like a 3D dodging challenge and an endless ninja runner. Each section is structured for progressive mastery—combining theory, coding practice, and real-world game projects. The course is ideal for beginners with a passion for game development and zero prior experience. No background in programming or Unity is required—just a willingness to learn and explore. Difficulty level is Beginner. By the end of the course, you will be able to build and export multiple Android games, write functional C# scripts in Unity, and confidently design game mechanics, UI systems, and mobile-ready experiences.
