Sam Pattuzzi – Unreal 4.22 C++ Developer: Learn C++ and Make Video Games
Created in collaboration with Epic Games. Learn C++ from basics while making your first 4 video games in Unreal.
Benefit from our world-class support from both other students, and the instructors who are on the forums regularly. Go on to build several games including a tank game, and a First Person Shooter.
You will have access to a course forum where you can discuss topics on a course-wide basis, or down to the individual video. Our thriving discussion forum will help you learn and share ideas with other students.
You will learn C++, the powerful industry standard language from scratch. By the end of the course you’ll be very confident in the basics of coding and game development, and hungry to learn more.

Your Instructor
Sam wrote his first game at 14, hacking together little games in Macromedia Flash during his summer holidays. Not long after, he taught himself C++ followed by Python and web programming. He was hooked.
In 2010 he went to study Computer Science at the University of Cambridge and he’s been in Cambridge ever since. That is where he caught the entrepreneurial bug and realised he wouldn’t want a traditional job for long. So after a few years working in various jobs to get experience, he quit and ed burning through his savings looking for his calling.
At the end of 2015, he was coaching some friends to improve their programming skills. Realising how much he loved it, he ed creating online courses and reached out to Ben for help. Fast forward and he’s part of the GameDev.tv gang and gets to hang out with our awesome community!
