Course Overview
Make beautifully smooth effects with everyone's favorite irrational number; π
Learn how to make your projects beautiful with the power of Pi!
Make eye-catching portfolio pieces
Get a foundation in C# scripting
Learn Unity 3D basics
Learn concepts which can be applied to other game engines / programming languages
This course will give you a solid foundation programming in C#; you don’t need any prior experience! But, if you’re a novice or even an experienced programmer who has yet to behold the beauty of programming with Pi, this course is still for you!
You’ll get a thorough understanding of Programming with PI so that you’ll be ready to apply some sine wave magic to your own projects, in Unity and beyond. The skills you learn in this course can be applied from 3D object manipulation (as depicted in the course) to 2D Sprites and even animating UI elements!
No matter what field of programming you are interested in, this course will help you to make some visually appealing projects that will make fantastic portfolio pieces.

Taught me some things I didn't understand about Sine functions & PI in a simplified manner. There were some occasionally-obtuse choices (in terms of variable names and code structure), but those were minor in light of the easy-to-follow, engaging lessons (and you get to make some cool stuff along the way!). Would recommend if you're interested in basic VFX, but aren't sure how to start creating them.

So far so good, but a common mistake in most videos I watch is the instructor moves the mouse immediately after clicking it, making it difficult to follow along.

This is great stuff, thank you! I remember back in the early 80s, playing around with this stuff in some very "BASIC" game development. I can't believe I'm back! Full circle you might say. :)

Edit 26th April 2023: So I decided to study computer science at some school during the pandemic. Felt it was time to formalize everything I've studied through courses and books. Everything went smooth, then on the last semester I had a C# course and I used Unity. It was fun and I learned how to make basic games. The thing is I wondered about this course again and I gave it another try. This time it not only was easier to understand, but still added value by complementing everything else I know already, so yeah, I like this course, it adds some cool tricks under the sleeve. 5 stars and would do again.
