About this course

Have you ever wanted to create your own video games but felt held back by complex programming languages? Construct 2 offers a powerful, visual way to bring your game ideas to life without writing traditional code. This text-based course guides you through the core principles of game design and visual scripting. You will transition from understanding basic game loops to structuring complex logic, enabling you to build, polish, and export your own interactive 2D games and applications. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational game development concepts, including the game loop, coordinates, and object properties. - Apply visual scripting logic using event sheets, conditions, and actions to control game behavior. - Manage game data effectively using global, local, and instance variables, as well as arrays for complex systems. - Implement engaging gameplay mechanics like physics, pathfinding, and custom user controls. - Enhance player experience with visual effects, screenshake, lighting, and responsive UI layouts for various screen sizes. - Structure clean, modular event sheets that keep your projects organized and easy to scale. You will start with the absolute basics, learning the interface and core terminology, before moving step-by-step through event-driven logic, game physics, and advanced mechanics. By reading the detailed explanations and analyzing the structured logic examples, you will build a deep understanding of game architecture. This course is designed entirely for beginners, aspiring game developers, and designers with no prior programming or game development experience. Start reading today and take your first step toward creating your own 2D games.

Helpful material. The structure was logical for the most part. Might not be for absolute beginners though.

Hmm, I'm not sure this is for absolute beginners. It assumes a bit of prior knowledge that wasn't explicitly taught. Some examples were confusing.
