Learn to Code with Games

A novel approach for the classroom or self-study Learn to Code with Games makes coding accessible to a broad audience. Structured as a series of challenges that help you learn to code by creating a video game each chapter expands and builds your knowledge while providing guidelines and hints to solving each challenge. The book employs a unique problem-solving approach to teach you the technical foundations of coding including data types variables functions and arrays. You will also use techniques such as pseudocode and process mapping to formulate solutions without needing to type anything into a computer and then convert the solutions into executable code. Avoiding jargon as much as possible Learn to Code with Games shows you how to see coding as a way of thinking and problem solving rather than a domain of obscure languages and syntaxes. Its practical hands-on approach through the context of game development enables you to easily grasp basic programming concepts.
