Make Amazing Games. Game Design and Development Using Fusion 2.5: From Basics to Advanced
Mercury Learning and Information, Jason Darby
This course is designed for aspiring game developers with no prior experience or programming knowledge. It provides a step-by-step guide through the game creation process using drag-and-drop game creation software available on Steam. The course begins with basic game design concepts and an introduction to the Fusion software, progressing through various stages of game development.Understanding game development is essential for those who want to turn their creative ideas into playable games. This course covers the creation of four fully playable games: a platform game, a bat-and-ball game, a mouse-clicker game, and a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up game. By completing these projects, users will gain practical experience and confidence in their game development skills.The journey continues with advanced features such as porting games to the web, debugging, and publishing. The companion files include game demos, graphic libraries, and source code, providing all the resources needed to successfully create and distribute your games. This comprehensive guide ensures that by the end of the course, you will have the knowledge and skills to create and publish your own games.

Kotlin is a programming language intended to be a better Java, and it's designed to be usable and readable across large teams with different levels of knowledge. As a language, it helps developers build amazing Android applications in an easy and effective way.This book begins by giving you a strong grasp of Kotlin's features in the context of Android development and its APIs. Moving on, you'll take steps towards building stunning applications for Android. The book will show you how to set up the environment, and the difficulty level will grow steadily with the applications covered in the upcoming chapters.Later on, the book will introduce you to the Android Studio IDE, which plays an integral role in Android development. We'll use Kotlin's basic programming concepts such as functions, lambdas, properties, object-oriented code, safety aspects, type parameterization, testing, and concurrency, which will guide you through writing Kotlin code in production. We'll also show you how to integrate Kotlininto any existing Android project.
