Learn to program a 2D game engine using Java from scratch. By the end of the course, you will be able to create a Super Mario Clone and other games. The course covers setting up the window, event handling, graphics programming, shaders, texture loading, entity component system, batch rendering, resource management, serialization, and more. The teaching method includes hands-on coding sessions and practical examples. This course is designed for beginners who are interested in game development and programming in Java.
