Unity Beginners: Build Real Games from Scratch

Week 1 - Setup + Editor Tour

Week 2 - Your First C# Script

Write real code that makes something move on screen. No prior coding experience needed.

Week 3 - Logic + Methods

Write code that makes decisions, repeats actions, and communicates between scripts.

Week 4 - AI-Assisted Development

Learn to use AI as a development partner. Direct it - don't just copy from it.

Make objects fall, bounce, collide, and react - using Unity's physics engine.

Week 6 - UI + Camera

Add a HUD to your game and a camera that follows your player.

Week 7 - Game Loop

Connect all your systems into a complete loop - start screen, play, win/lose, restart.

Week 8 - Mini-Game Build Session

Apply everything from weeks 1–7. Build a complete, playable mini-game from scratch in one session.

Week 9 - Sprites + Art Pipeline

Replace placeholder shapes with real sprites and learn the full import pipeline.

Week 10 - Animation

Bring your characters to life with idle, run, and jump animations controlled from code.

Week 11 - Polish + Juice

Add the layer of feel that separates a prototype from something people actually want to play.

Week 12 - Final Project Launch

Plan your final game, scope it correctly, and leave class with a prototype already running.
