View Learning Program

Essential Prerequisites

Before diving into mobile game development, you'll want to have these fundamentals in place. Don't worry if you're not an expert yet – these are starting points, not finish lines.

  • Basic understanding of programming concepts (variables, loops, functions)
  • Familiarity with any programming language – JavaScript, Python, or C# work great
  • A computer capable of running development tools (8GB RAM minimum recommended)
  • Willingness to experiment and learn from mistakes
  • About 5-10 hours per week to dedicate to learning and practice

New to programming entirely? That's perfectly fine! We recommend spending 2-3 weeks with free resources like Codecademy or freeCodeCamp to get comfortable with basic concepts before starting our program.

Setting Realistic Expectations

Mobile game development is incredibly rewarding, but it's also challenging. Here's what you can realistically expect from your learning journey with us.

Weeks 1-2: Foundation Building

You'll learn core concepts and set up your development environment. Expect some frustration – this is completely normal and part of the process.

Weeks 3-6: First Projects

You'll build simple games and start seeing real progress. This is where things get exciting and concepts begin clicking together.

Weeks 7-12: Advanced Concepts

More complex features and polished projects. You'll start thinking like a game developer and problem-solving independently.

Reality check: Most students hit a "wall" around week 4-5 where everything feels overwhelming. This is expected! Push through this phase, and you'll emerge much stronger on the other side.

Your Success Action Plan

These practical steps will set you up for success from day one. Think of this as your pre-flight checklist before takeoff.

  • Set up your workspace: Find a quiet area where you can focus for 2-3 hours at a time without interruptions
  • Download essential tools: We'll guide you through this, but having a good text editor ready helps
  • Join our community: Connect with other learners – you'll help each other through tough spots
  • Practice debugging mindset: When code doesn't work, celebrate! Each error teaches you something valuable
  • Plan your schedule: Block out specific times for learning rather than hoping to "find time"

Pro tip from our graduates: Start a development journal from day one. Write down what you learned, what confused you, and what you want to explore next. You'll be amazed at your progress when you look back.
