GAMES DEVELOPER COURSE

TIGA Diploma in Games Development

Games programmers are the core component to all games production. They create the code that forms the foundation of all games, and work to interrelate all of the various game components; the characters, the environments, the vehicles and all of the many other aspects contained within an interactive entertainment product. Train2Game’s courses teach you how code is developed and used within the games industry to create the many thousands of games launched each year.

This course is aimed at anyone who has a great game idea, but who lacks the opportunity, skills or experience to be able to turn their idea into reality. We’re your experts on the ‘inside’ and in unique and interactive ways we will help you pick up everything you’ll need to realise your dream. This is a complete system aimed at ‘ordinary’ people and written by actual game developers! Whilst this course does not require you to have previous programming knowledge you should have an aptitude for mathematics and perhaps physics or computer science. These form the core skills that we will help you develop to become a proficient developer.

This is a game AND programming course aimed at individuals with little or no programming experience. We cover everything from fundamentals to advanced topics, using the game programming language of choice, C++. (Although we cover C++ closely, many of the techniques are ‘good practice’ and will apply equally to ANY languages)

Whilst showing you professional techniques, we will take you on a fascinating journey through two and three-dimensional gaming. Unlike other courses, this is C++ for gamers. It contains a wealth of invaluable information that you are very unlikely to find in an ‘ordinary’ programming manual.

Only very basic computing knowledge is needed; the course is structured so that you can move quickly through the sections you do already understand (NEVER skip one in case you overlook something though.) Some of the concepts can be picked up more rapidly if you do have prior programming experience, but it is certainly not essential. Rest assured our interactive DVD, combined with the gently increasing pace of the text, will allow you to develop the skills you need at your own pace. The complexity of what can be achieved is limited only by your own abilities; you will soon be able to create your first computer game!

Even uncomplicated games can provide a compelling ‘proof of concept’ that demonstrate your idea has been well thought through (and isn’t just more hot air). Game companies often receive game designs in document form (and rarely have time to even read them); prototypes are much more easily reviewed and are therefore highly sought after. We show you how to convey your ideas to a professional game developer or publisher in ways they will notice. Your investment in this course will allow you to entertain friends and family, or to take your ideas to the next level.

We have worked hard to demystify this often-shrouded topic so that you can achieve the best result possible!
