Make Video Games with Godot: Build Your First 2D Platformer

Have you ever wanted to create your own video games?

In this course, you’ll learn how to build a complete 2D platformer from the ground up using Godot, one of the world’s fastest-growing game engines. No previous programming or game development experience is required—we’ll take everything one step at a time.

Together we’ll learn how to:

• Create and organize a real game project
• Build and control a player character
• Design levels using tilemaps
• Create smooth camera movement
• Collect coins and treasures
• Build enemies and hazards
• Detect collisions
• Keep score with a user interface
• Add win and lose conditions
• Turn everything into a fun, playable game

Along the way you’ll also learn the fundamentals of programming with GDScript, how games are organized behind the scenes, and how to think like a game developer.

Rather than simply copying code, you’ll understand why each piece works, giving you the confidence to experiment and begin creating games of your own.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an aspiring young game developer, this course provides a fun, hands-on introduction to programming through game creation.

By the end of the course, you’ll have built—and fully understand—a game you can proudly share with your family and friends.
