Why Coding Institute

Study Java (LibGDX) with CI

This course provides an introduction to game development using Java with the
LibGDX framework. Students will learn to create 2D games, understand game
architecture, and develop practical skills in game programming. The course covers
foundational concepts in Java, the specifics of the LibGDX framework, and best
practices in game development. By the end of the course, students will have created
their own simple 2D game and be prepared for more advanced game development
projects.

Understand the basics of Java programming and the LibGDX framework.
Develop a basic 2D game using LibGDX.
Learn about game architecture, including game loops and state management.
Apply knowledge of graphics, input handling, and physics in game development.
Debug and optimise game code for better performance.
