In this course you will learn how to create a procedurally generated 2D Roguelike similar to games like Nuclear Throne or Enter the gungeon. We will use an algorithmcalled random walker that we will use to create automatically new levels: everytime we will load our level a new one will be automatically generated, which open the gate for infinite levels. We will learn how to place our player, groups of enemies and exit inside it, as well as instancing ammunitions when our enemy dies. We will also create from scratch a player with typical roguelike movementand shooting mechanic like having the rotation of our player and his gun based on the position of the mouse, we will learn how to configure a mouse icon that is animated, how to create enemies that can patrol randomly and chase you once you’ve been detected, and way much more.

Here is a list of the things we will learn together:

Generating procedurally a level that is autotiled with terrains and collisions shape

Rotating the gun and the player toward the mouse position

Instancing enemies inside the border of our generated level

Having our enemy chasing us

Being able to collect ammo by looting them inside our level

Having a countdown that restartthe levelwhen reaching zero

Creating shader to damage the player

Having screen shakewhen the bullet explode

Having a player life system

Having an exit portalthat we need to find to continue playing the game

I’ve been enjoying making this new course as I am fascinated by procedural generation, and I hope that this course will be the right entry gate for you if you want to go deeper into that segment of programming that is rarely taught in a way that is complete and accessible for beginner programmer.

The asset will be provided with this course, so you just have to enroll and start coding.

So thank you for reading this and considering buying this course, and I’ll see you in the first lecture!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
