Android LibGDX Game Development Masterclass
Become a real games programmer. Create Games Using Java with the LibGDX Game Development Framework.
Games developers are in huge demand, with many new and exciting opportunities becoming available to programmers who understand the technology.
Are you looking to become a games programmer, but don’t know where to start?
Maybe you are looking for a really comprehensive course on games development, but cannot decide which course to take.
Maybe you have some skills with LibGDX or another games framework, but want to create Android games.
Whatever the reason, this course will teach you how to become a master games programming, using LIBGDX.
Keep in mind that LIBGDX is cross platform, meaning that you can then move games to other platforms
No previous experience is necessary. Goran Lochert, your course instructor is an expert games developer, who has worked on many games in many frameworks. He is also an official Oracle Java certified developer, and an official contributor to LIBGDX, the games framework used in this course to create games.
His skills and experiences with LibGDX are second to none.
As a result, you are learning from one of, if not the most experienced Java games developer on Udemy, meaning you can be assured that not only will you learn how to create your own games by following along in this course, but you will also learn the right way to create your game code.
The lack of proper programming techniques is one of the main reasons why games do not perform well, or end up really hard to maintain and update. In addition, learning the wrong way to design and create programming code, can actually harm your career, because employers expect games programmer to write professional code, following accepted industry standards. You will learn how to do that in this course.
Included, is well over fifty hours and hundreds of videos, making this one of the most comprehensive courses of it’s type.
Nothing is glossed over. Goran goes into detail with each and every aspect of games development through the course, so that you actually understand how things work, and can then apply this to your own games projects.
Although the emphasis is on Android in this course, because the course uses LibGDX, which is cross-platform, your games can be deployed to many platforms (PC for one).
Learning how to become a games developer, and how to code the right way, can be difficult. By the end of this course, you will be able to create your own games, and know how to structure and code your games, the way professional programmers do.
If you are ready to join the games industry as a games programmer, then it’s time to get busy learning!

It was a really useful course for a beginner game developer. It was great that Goran always emphasized the most important thing (for example we have to think in world unit).

Thank you. Hard to understand. Like text to speech.. Type and pronounce the code. Subjects not sync. No sights like insights or out sights. This is not like the way in Java masterclass. Or I think this is for advanced students. Thank you.

Great course for any one trying to learn game development with libgdx! It would definitely help if you have some prior java experience (although he does teach the basics quickly). This course does a good job of teaching and then reinforcing the items learned so that you really understand what is happening. Definitely better than most youtube series on the topic and even teaches you to put ads in your game which is a nice bonus. However, the topics covered may not help more advanced developers as much. Overall I definitely recommend it for anyone trying to start out as a game developer, looking for a new hobby or looking to learn java in a fun way.

Nice and calm voice explaining everything, even not to stress out over things that the student doesn't understand yet. Seems that he knows what he's talking about.
