Description

We know how to use Flask to build a website, PixelPad to make simple 2D games and Tkinter for simple applications. In this course, students will go all out and use every technique discussed in Python, in order to build a simple 3D game using the Ursina engine in Python. Ursina Engine is a 3D game engine built on top of the Python programming language. It provides an easy-to-use framework for creating interactive 3D games and applications. Ursina uses a simple and intuitive syntax that makes it easy for beginners to get started with game development. Ursina also runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, so you can develop games for multiple platforms.

*Pre-requisites: This class is geared towards students who have completed the Beginner Python Programming class and have mastered the techniques and/ or have completed one of the Testing Mom Python Specialization Courses, and are looking for an extra challenge!

Some of the features of the Ursina Engine include:

Simple and intuitive syntax: Ursina uses a simple and intuitive syntax that makes it easy for beginners to get started with game development.
Entity-component-system architecture: Ursina uses an entity-component-system architecture, which allows for easy organization of game objects and their properties.
Built-in shaders and materials: Ursina comes with a variety of built-in shaders and materials, making it easy to create realistic lighting and textures in your game.
Cross-platform support: Ursina runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, so you can develop games for multiple platforms.
Extensible: Ursina is built to be extensible, allowing you to easily add your own custom features and functionality to the engine.

Course Outline:

Entities, Controllers, and running apps in Python
Raycasting vs 3D game Engines
Understanding, and using voxel objects
Collision detection, and ghost mode
Import to open up libraries, classes, source code, and objects

Instructor's Bio:

Abhijeet has been involved in the programming and teaching sector for several years. He has worked with the brightest minds on wall street (Quantitative Researchers), and created AI (Machine Learning) Algorithms that analyze stock data, and give recommendations. He has also spent a lot of his time volunteering, and working with gifted students, and helping kids as young as 5 years old, and has been teaching them programming for several years. He has taught students that had no idea how to program, and they went on to win programming competitions. As of right now, he still works as a teacher for a private school, and still works with Quantitative Researchers on a daily basis.

Educational Background, Degrees, Licenses:

The University of Waterloo, B. Math Majoring in Statistics
Completed several coding courses on Machine Learning & Neural Networks
Currently Works as a Data Scientist at a Quantitative Research & Risk Firm
Created Brand New Python Courses for Private Schools

What I Tutor and Teach:

Python 3, R, SQL, Scratch, Roblox, JAVA, HTML.

Fun Facts:

Some of the kids I've taught Python & Scratch have gone on and used what they learned to create mods for Minecraft.

Jennifer says:

The instructor was very engaging and helpful. We loved the email reminders so we could be on time. My son learned so much and can\'t wait to take another class with this instructor. Excellent communication between the instructor and students. The instructor made the class easy to understand. Python is \"real\" coding. My son was excited to create a game with moving parts.

Yulei says:

Just want to pay some compliments to Mr. Abhijeet H. Jason loves his classes. He laughs at whatever he says. It really helps to keep him learning. Thanks!

Rithu says:

My son has really enjoyed this class!

Theresa says:

My child thought the class was really cool, and the quiz a lot of fun.

Jonathan says:

Great Python beginners class - hoping to continue to the next level. Excellent instruction that my child very much enjoyed. Thank you! My child loves his instructor, Abhijeet H. This was the same instructor for his advanced 6/7th grade math class - which he also loved.

Vienna says:

My son was introduced to new math concepts he didn’t know and he had fun. I like that he is challenged and wasn’t intimidated. He felt that it was both easy and hard. And he enjoyed it. It is a good way to keep our children engaged. Once my boys learn something, they think they know everything. Only being in this group class, did they realize they need more learning.
