Am hello again am worried about learning coding and the reason is that I want to become a game maker and don't know which course

Question

I need help

Answer 1

If you want to become a game developer, you should use a game engine because the work will be easier and you can learn c# for the Unity game engine or C++ for the Unreal game engine

Answer 2

Hello! Everyone has a beginning to their own programming journey and you shouldn't feel stressed about taking the steps towards turning your dream into a reality. What you really want to learn is Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). OOP is code designed that specifies "real" objects. For example, if you wanted a game with a character, you would need to understand the concepts behind developing the characters values or code. If you want a character that can jump, you need to understand how objects move in space. The programming language I recommend for game development is C++ or C#. I come from a Java background so I have a personal preference towards C#, but most companies will use C++ for his speed and efficiency. This is also ties to an important concept to learn, portability, which is how portable your application is amongst various operating systems. I could write an application in C# but that doesn't mean that code can run anywhere I wanted on any phone, computer or system. Another aspect of game programming is the engine, aka the middle ware that handles performance specific code. The two main gaming engines that exist are Unreal and Unity, they also free for personal use. Unreal uses C++ and has been used for games such as Batman: Arkham Series, Fortnite, etc, Unity uses C# and has been used for games such as Call of Duty:Mobile, Among Us, etc. Whichever you choose will be beneficial as the core concepts of coding remain the same across different programming languages. Even if you learned C++ first, transitioning to a second programming language will be easier than when you first started programming. Hope this helps!
