Even if you have never coded before, you can learn how to build an app from scratch using Xcode. This book takes you step-by-step through designing, coding, and testing different iOS applications.The code in this book is easy to follow along with. The book''s numerous screenshots ensure that no learner is left behind.Playground – In Part 1, you learn the foundations of Xcode using Swift 3.0''s Playground. The Playground is the perfect place to test code in real-time. We use the Playground to introduce coding topics like variables, functions, and loops.UI Elements – Apps are made up of User Interface (UI) elements. In Part 2, you create Projects to test common UI elements, including labels, buttons, and text fields. With code, you learn to implement the objects to give them functionality.Example Apps – In Part 3, we create functioning apps. To build an app, we design its layout and implement its functionality. You learn how to test your apps by running them in the Simulator.

Do you want to make your own 2D or 3D game? Unity is the Number One free program for building VR games. In this book, we use Unity and C# to create several games from scratch.The first part of this book is an introduction to Unity for those who have never used it before. You learn the interface, set up scenes, and make game objects. We create a 2D game where a player shoots a bullet at a wall to trigger an explosion. In Part Two, we create a 3D shooter game where a player enters a castle and attacks enemies. You learn how to customize the appearance and behavior of objects using C# scripts. You learn crucial concepts of coding in C# for Unity: variables, methods, input, and more.By the end of this book, you have a 2D bullet explosion game and a 3D VR shooter game that you can show off in your portfolio.

Learn to create the art and code for a 3D virtual reality (VR) Whackamole game. In this eBook, we take you through each step of game development, from downloading software to integrating art. The programs we use are Unity and Blender, the top free platforms for building VR games. We create real examples that you can follow along with as you learn. This eBook is an extension of Mammoth Interactive''s "Introduction to Unity" book. In Part 1, you learn how navigate the Unity Editor, set up scenes, and make game objects. We make a 2D game where a player shoots a bullet at a wall to trigger an explosion. In Part 2, you learn how to customize the appearance and behavior of objects using C# scripts by building a 3D shooter game. In Part 3, we build a Whackamole game from scratch. We use Blender to make our art assets and 3D models. By the end of this eBook, you have a fully-functioning 3D VR game that you can put in your portfolio.

The Unreal Engine is a powerful program for building games. Learn how to navigate the Unreal editor by building a Coin Collector game!By the end of this book, you know how to create a game from scratch that responds to user input through keyboard controls. This book makes creating your own game easy and efficient. You learn both the coding and artistic sides to game development. As such, you gain a unique perspective that is familiar with the different skills needed to make a game. Ready to begin?
