How to make your first Video Game - Intro to Code (Ep. 2)
Welcome to the second episode of our action/adventure game series! This is a beginner friendly series that will teach you the how to create your very own games by creating a 3D game inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
In this episode we go over the syntax and basic rules of code by dissecting the player script we created last episode. This will give us a solid foundation we can use to move more quickly in the next set of episodes and see more of our Zelda-like game come to life!
