Overview
The course introduces participants to the fundamentals of game development using Unity. Utilising this game engine (or, more precisely, ecosystem), most mobile games are developed. It uses one of the most popular programming languages, C#, and allows projects to be ported to dozens of different platforms. During the course, we will get acquainted with both the editor itself and Unity services that make it easy to integrate multiplayer, analytics, monetization, and various tools for team development into the project. Participants will have the opportunity to study both existing games and develop their own.
Learning highlights
- Unity editor tools
- Computer graphics and animation
- Physics and mathematics in games
- Integration of third-party SDKs
- Fundamentals of programming in C#

Prerequisites
Confident computer user (installation and use of software).
Basic knowledge of computer science, mathematics, and geometry.
Basic knowledge of using Git.
Methodology
Each 3-hour session will consist of 2-4 blocks, including an explanation of new material, a demonstration of examples, and then independent work on that topic. In the first week, these will be either pre-prepared or projects loaded during the study. Homework in the first week will focus on deeper exploration of the material. The sessions this week are not interconnected. In the second and third weeks, individual educational projects (2D and 3D games) are developed during class as independent work. For homework, there is a two-week individual project, the plan for which is discussed individually.
Grading
My professional career spans a wide array of information technology fields, from developing software for control systems and mobile applications to working with devices such as Kinect, Oculus, HTC Vive, Magic Leap, and more. I developed two comprehensive online courses on Unity. Since 2012, I have been involved in game development, which I find to be a particularly challenging and interesting class of software because it requires consideration of many aspects. I started my game development career at the indie studio Brainy Studio, which I co-founded with friends, and released the game TurnOn. I have won various competitions and IT contests: DevGAMM, AppCampus, and the Microsoft Imagine Cup in the Games category.
In recent years, I have been focused on developing both gaming and non-gaming projects in the fields of virtual and augmented reality. I have worked as a lead developer at CROC, SBER, RFOX, and various small companies. In summary, with 10 years of experience with Unity and eight years of teaching experience, I have developed dozens of gaming and non-gaming projects, both independently and in middle-size teams.
