Dersin Veriliş Şekli
Dersin Amacı	The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental principles of game development using the Unity engine and C# programming. It aims to develop the engineering skills required to design interactive environments, implement real-time physics, and manage complex game logic. By the end of the course, students will be able to transform creative game concepts into functional software prototypes while adhering to object-oriented programming standards and efficient asset management practices.
Dersin Tanımı	This course provides a comprehensive introduction to game development workflows, starting with the Unity IDE and C# scripting fundamentals. Key topics include the implementation of GameObjects, Transforms, and Components, as well as the integration of physics engines, collision detection, and user input. Students will explore advanced concepts such as UI design, audio integration, and prefab management. The course emphasizes practical application through the development of complete game projects, requiring students to solve complex logic problems and optimize performance within a real-time rendering environment.
