How do learn more in depth coding skills necessary for game design?

Question

I am currently going to school for game design, but there is only one programming class in my curriculum. I have learned that even though game designers don't do the extent of progamming that game developers do, a basic working knowledge of JavaScript, C#, and C++ is crucial. A designer has to be able to take an idea, and provide the developers with a basic framework to build on. What other resources can I use to learn and practice because SoloLearn leaves alot of the finer details unexplained

Answer 1

Bookboon provide some nice tutorials in game design and programming. In fact they are mainly written for students by teachers or fellow students and are relatively easy to understand.

Answer 2

If you're looking for pre-built engines, I recommend Unity or the Unreal engine. But there are a lot more...

Answer 3

awesome, thank you. i have been searching and only found a few useful sites. www.codingame.com is pretty cool because it makes you take preexisting code and alter or add to it to create a specific outcomes in various game prototypes.
