Hello there!! 👋
Today you’re going to level-up your no-code skills by creating your own shareable game.
Let’s-a-go! 🍄
Today’s Task📝
🧱 Project: Create a Game with No-Code
⏲️ Estimated time: 30 minutes
🛠️ Tools: GDevelop
Context📄
Ever wanted to create your own game but felt overwhelmed by video game programming or highly-technical game engines?
Then today’s lesson is for you!
Today you’ll learn how to quickly build shareable 2D and 3D games, all within a no-code game engine platform.
In this lesson you’ll learn:
- How to create your own game from a template in GDevelop
- How the structure of Objects, Properties and Events are used to create games
Let's Prep 🥗
What's GDevelop?
GDevelop is a powerful, open-source, no-code game engine. Using GDevelop you can create 2D, 3D and multiplayer games that can be published on iOS, Android, Steam, on the web and via a range of gaming platforms. GDevelop uses a visual event system to create logic in games. This makes it easier to learn and use than traditional coding languages, especially for those that are new to game development.
There are also tutorials available to help users get started with the engine.
This Lesson
In today’s lesson you’ll use a GDevelop template to get set up quickly with the foundations to create a 3D “lane runner” style game. You’ll learn about some of the key components that make up games in GDevelop including:
- Objects - such as characters, items or more broadly the “things” that interact with each other in your game
- Properties - the settings you can configure to change the ways that Objects are displayed
- Events - the results of Objects being interacted with (or triggered)
GDevelop has an excellent YouTube playlist for beginners with tutorials that can help you learn the fundamentals of the platform in more detail.
