This document serves as an introductory guide to game development, covering topics such as camera projections, software tools, coding in C#, and character creation. It outlines the basics of using orthographic and perspective projections, introduces relevant software like Unity and Blender, and explains key programming concepts such as variables and methods. The document emphasizes continuous learning in the field and includes acknowledgments for resources used.

1. GAME
DEVELOPMENT
101
A very very very basic
Introduction to making games

2. TABLE OF CONTENT
Here are the topics that we’ll be going through today:
1. Camera projections
2. Software used in game development
3. Variables and methods
4. Writing code in C#
5. Creating characters

3. WHAT IS A
GAME DEVELOPER?
Game developers are people like
you with math, computer, or
creative arts skills. They spend
their time programming and
developing games..

4. PROJECTIONS
Generally, two types of camera
projections are used:
1. Orthographic Projection
2. Perspective Projection
01

5. PROJECTIONS
ORTHOGRAPHICS
Gameobjects in the scene don't
fade as the parallel lines never
meet.
It is commonly used in 2D
games.
PERSPECTIVE
The closest things seem bigger.
The object tends to look farther
away and smaller as they move
away.
Perspective camera gives a 3D
scene depth.

6. 2. SOFTWARE / TOOLS IN GAME DEV
UNITY 3D
HTML5
JAVSCRIPT
UNREAL
ENGINE
Cocos

7. VARIABLES
METHODS
CLASSES
03

8. VARIABLES
A name to which data can be assigned
int playerHealth = 100;
playerHealth = playerHealth – 10;
float distance = Vector3.Distance ( targetPosition –
playerPosition );
distance = Math.sqrt ( power ((targetPosition.x – playerPosition.x),2f) + power
((targetPosition.y – playerPosition.y),2f)+ power ((targetPosition.z – playerPosition.z),2f));
bool playerIsAlive = true;
string playerName = “ColdFusion”;

9. METHODS (FUNCTIONS)
Isolating code that perform specific task, so that it can be called
from multiple places.
It can take or return data
explode ( int damageAmount ) {
playExplosionSound ();
makeFlashOfLight ();
applyDamageToPlayer ( damageAmount );
}

10. WRITING
CODE IN C#
04

11. UNITY – C# CODE
using UnityEngine;
public class FootballBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
public float thrust = 1.0f;
public Rigidbody rb;
void Start() {
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}
void Update() {
rb.AddForce(transform.forward * thrust);
}
}

12. UNITY – C# CODE
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform other;
void Example() {
if (other) {
float dist = Vector3.Distance(other.position, transform.position);
print("Distance to other: " + dist);
}
}
}

13. CREATING
CHARACTERS
05

14. CHARACTER CREATION
BLENDER
Free and Open 3D
Creation Software.
MAYA
Animation software with
powerful modeling, rendering,
simulation, texturing, and
animation.
CHARACTER
CREATOR
Quintessential tool for
creating and
customizing exceptional
quality game-ready
characters
ZBRUSH
ZBrush is a digital sculpting
tool that combines 3D/2.5D
modeling, texturing and
painting

15. BLENDER CHARACTER LIBRARY
Blender Institute Characters Library
Characters created during current or
past Open Movies, fully shaded and
rigged, ready for you to use on your
own projects. Textures are packed
into the files.

16. CHARACTER CREATOR 3.0
