About this course

Have you ever built a promising game prototype only to watch it collapse under the weight of spaghetti code and hard-to-find bugs as soon as you added new features? Transitioning from a quick hobby project to a robust, scalable game requires a solid foundation in software architecture. This text-based course guides you through the process of writing clean, professional C# code in Unity. By focusing on a structured city builder project, you will learn how to apply object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, implement industry-standard design patterns, and write automated tests to ensure your game mechanics remain stable as your project grows. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational OOP concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation applied directly to game development. - Implement essential design patterns such as Singleton, Command, and State to manage complex game systems. - Configure and write unit tests within Unity to automatically catch bugs and verify core game logic. - Refactor messy prototype code into a clean, modular architecture that is easy to expand. - Manage complex simulation states, resource flows, and grid-based building mechanics using clean C# scripts. You will start with core programming concepts and testing fundamentals before moving step-by-step through the architectural design of a city-building simulation. Each text lesson combines detailed explanations of architectural theory with clear, production-ready C# code snippets to study and adapt. This course is designed for beginner to early-intermediate game developers who know basic C# and Unity but want to learn how to structure larger, more professional projects. No prior experience with design patterns or unit testing is required. Start reading today to elevate your programming skills and build games that are built to last.

Tbh, I expected more practical application. It felt a bit too theoretical for my needs, though the core concepts were explained okay.
