In this module, you will build your first game, Hangman, using Lua and Love2D. You’ll focus on implementing core game mechanics, such as drawing the game elements and tracking user input. By the end of this section, you’ll have a working game with functional win/loss conditions and data handling.

In this module, we will expand your knowledge by diving into logical operators and advanced table handling. You’ll also explore how understanding program execution order can help optimize your code. These advanced topics will prepare you for more complex programming challenges in the future.

In this module, you will apply your knowledge to create a dice application. You’ll practice random number generation and display the results within the game. This project will help you structure your code efficiently using functions and tables, reinforcing what you’ve learned so far.

In this module, you will develop a flag recognition game. You will learn how to manage game data structures, implement buttons for user interaction, and handle user input for selecting the correct flag. This project will challenge you to integrate new features into your game development process.

In this module, we will introduce advanced concepts such as working with tables and keys, string comparisons, and state tables. These techniques will help you manage complex data structures and game states, preparing you for more challenging projects in the course.

In this module, you will create a typing game, focusing on dynamic game mechanics such as letter spawning and scoring. You will also learn how to increase difficulty over time to keep the player challenged. This project will deepen your understanding of game development with Lua and Love2D.

In this module, we will introduce the modulo operator, which is essential for many game-related calculations. You will also learn how to use recursive functions and while loops to handle repetitive tasks in your games, enhancing your ability to tackle complex game logic.
