Course Content
13 courses – 1 Exam – Certificate of Completion
Introduction to Web3 Game Developer
This is the first module in the Web3 Game Developer certification course. It offers a brief introduction to web3 game developer certification, the content of the course, and a brief introduction to each topic.
Overview of the Eco-system
The section module of this certification is all about the basic overview of core components of the web3 game development industry. It includes an overview of Blockchain, Cryptos, DeFi, NFT, Gaming, Metaverse, and Crypto Games.
The Decentralized Gaming Evolution – GameFi
The third module of this course is all about evolution in the gaming industry and the role of decentralized gaming. The module introduces some of the basic concepts that are important in web3 gaming and how they are different from centralized gaming. For the convenience of the student, the module has been divided into three levels. The first level talks about Runtime, Transparency, & Security. The second level looks at the Verifiable Scarcity, True Ownership, and DAOs in Blockchain Gaming. The third and final level explores The Future of In-Game Economies in the Blockchain Gaming Industry. The module also covers some subtopics like GameFi (GAFI) and the overall evolution of gaming.
Game Development Process
The next module of this course offers an in-depth understanding of the game development process. The students will learn about steps, important elements, and the overall ecosystem that is important for game development. It starts with a simple process of decentralized game development. The instructor then dives into the roles within the game development projects and different essential tools for game development and gaming as a service (GaaS). By the end of the project, the student will also learn about the four important metrics used for Video Game Project Management.
Prerequisites & Installation
This module offers an overview of all the essential tools and extensions required for game development. The students will get to understand some of the important tools that are to be installed. The instructor starts with a walk-through of Remix (open-source full-stack web framework) and then learns to set up the MetaMask in the Browser. There is a part dedicated to the development environment as well, so the student can install everything essential for web3 game development. There is a section dedicated to writing smart contracts and how students can write the first smart contract.
Deep Dive into Solidity
This module starts with a basic overview of Solidity and its use. For an advanced understanding of Solidity, there is a section that focuses on the terms, uses, and workings of Solidity. After completing this section, students will have an intermediate-level understanding of this programming language. Moreover, learners will also get to know about some of the important units in Ethereum and ways to handle errors.
Getting Started with Smart Contracts
This module helps the student understand the important elements of smart contracts, their use, and their applications. This module starts with an overview and then dwells into details like Smart Contracts Advantages and Use-Cases. The participants will also learn about the limitations of smart contracts, Vulnerabilities & Attacks. Finally, there is a section for Smart Contract Development so the learners can develop their smart contracts.
Game Development Stage: Planning
The next module offers hands-on experience to the students. This is the first tutorial of the game development process – planning. Within this demo, students will get an overview of the project, Wireframes, the design tool, and the overall Final Designs. This is a very important module as it offers a more practical side of game development.
Game Development Stage: Blockchain
The next module takes the student's learning to an advanced level by introducing blockchain. The students will get a brief intro to blockchain along with the Dependencies. This section also includes a tutorial for Installing Dependencies and setting up the environment. Moreover, the students will also get familiar with some advanced web3 gaming concepts like BCToken, BCNFT, BC1155, BC Casino, BC Casino Test Cases and Deployment.
Game Development Stage: Backend
The tenth module of this course is another practical demo catering to the backend section of the game development. The module starts with an introduction to the game development backend and familiarization with the dependencies. Then, the development environment is built by setting up the system and installing the dependencies. Moreover, this module also includes ethers setup and routes that are essential for web3 game development.
Game Development Stage: Frontend
The students will get to start with a basic introduction to front-end development, things that are important for a good front-end, and assessing the importance of a good front-end from a player's point of view. The module includes a complete demo of setting up the front-end development environment and the dependencies. Finally, there is a demo section for setting up ethers Metamask.
