  1. 01

    Programming Foundations

    Think like a programmer: values, logic, loops, functions and problem solving in JavaScript.

  2. 02

    Game Development Foundations

    Learn the real programming ideas behind every video game: game loops, vectors, movement, collision detection, input handling, simple physics, and shipping a finished small game.

    The DOM & Browser Events

    Learn to read and change a live web page with JavaScript: select elements, update content, create and remove nodes, and respond to user actions with events.

    Algorithms & Data Structures

    Think algorithmically: master arrays, Big-O, searching, sorting, stacks/queues, hash maps, recursion, trees and graphs.

Projects you'll complete

  • Score Tracker

    Turn variables and types into a working score tracker used by a small games night app.

  • Interactive To-Do & Filter Widget

    Build a small interactive to-do list widget: add items, mark them done, and filter which ones are visible — all with vanilla DOM APIs and event listeners.

  • Algorithms & Data Structures Capstone

    Bring together searching, stacks, hash maps, recursion, and graph traversal in five focused mini-implementations.

  • Build the Core Systems of a Small Game

    Implement the three pure-function systems that power a small game: physics/movement update, collision + scoring, and wave-based difficulty with win/lose handling.

  • Number Guessing Engine

    Build the logic engine behind a guessing game using conditions and loops.

  • Study Coach

    Final project: a study coach that summarises practice sessions and reports back in plain English.
