What is Game Development?
The process of designing, developing, and releasing a game is referred to as Game Development. This process may involve concept generation, design, development, testing, and release. When creating a game, it is important to think about the mechanics, rewards, and levels. Python, Lua, JavaScript, and C# are some of the best programming languages that are used in game development. There is a great demand for video game developers as the industry is highly evolving to a new extent. Career opportunities are available even in non-game companies where content creation is a part of ad campaigns, television series, films, and even more. If you are interested in creating your own games but don’t know where to start, PurpleTutor’s game development courses can help you get started in 2D and 3D game development using the popular platforms Code.org and Roblox.
In the context of game development, Code.org offers courses that teach students how to create simple 2D games using the programming language JavaScript. Roblox, on the other hand, is a platform that allows users to create and play games in a virtual world. With Roblox, users can build their own 3D game environments and add gameplay mechanics using Lua, a popular scripting language.
PurpleTutor’s game development courses offer a comprehensive introduction to game development in both 2D and 3D. By using both Code.org and Roblox, our game courses provide students with a solid foundation in programming concepts and game development skills that can be applied to other game development platforms as well.
