About Shivam

Ahoy, bright student! I am Shivam (or Shiv, if you prefer that!).

I have worked as a professional game developer in various domains like XR, PC war gaming, mobile hypercasual time-wasters, and as a hobbyist since 2018.

I co-developed Neosphere Interactive's "1971: Indian Naval Front", which received an Epic MegaGrant and the Game of the Year 2023 award from the India Game Developer Conference.

I have over two years of experience supervising children and teenagers in extracurricular settings. My part-time work in the UK involved teaching computer programming using educational game-making platforms Scratch and MakeCode.

I have also conducted game development workshops with other seasoned industry professionals in India and the UK. I have completed an MSc in Game Programming at Kingston University, London.

I have handled code bases with several thousand lines of code and created tools that make people's lives more tolerable, and I would feel nothing short of joy to see you do something that gives you a similar level of fulfilment!

My goal is to disseminate the art and science of programming – the knowledge, skills, and processes that have become my own through my passionate engagement with programming in general and making games in particular, all for you!

About the lesson

  • All Levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

===== Core Experience:
C++, C#, Go, Python | Scratch, MakeCode Arcade
Unity, Unreal Engine

===== Extra:
JavaScript/TypeScript, Java/Kotlin, SQL, Rust, Lua(u)
Godot Engine (community docs maintainer)

Any other language, framework, toolchain, or ecosystem? Happy to discuss!

===== What seems to work right now (improving this continuously!):

KIDS => MakeCode Arcade Blocks ️-> MakeCode Python or JavaScript -> Advanced Scripting
(concepts: game loops, events, interactions, sequencing, fire-and-forget parallel tasks, basic narrative design, sprite animations!)

GAME ENGINES => Usually Unity or Unreal, but the workflow is similar to any engine with a GUI: navigating the UI, exploring different tools, and scripting behaviour. Tasks are highly customised per student!
We go into advanced concepts such as Cloud APIs and other integrations as needed.

OTHER => ??? (Drop me a text!)

=====

I prefer a structured approach to lesson planning, so any syllabus, marking rubric, job role description, or other requirement you provide me is factored into our plans! I usually carry out 1-hour sessions, but 4-hour sessions work similarly (except we must all take breaks!).

My teaching approach has always been hands-on: my focus is for you to write more code than draw more diagrams (matplotlib users aside (¬‿¬) ). However, I deploy visual aids (think graphics programming-ish) when introducing concepts to kids or when more experienced learners want to put their ideas on paper or Paint.

I know that working on problems structured as though they belong in a syllabus pattern helps. For kids, it may be to use a simple library; for experienced folk, it could be an analogue of some problem we found online that they must wrap their minds around.
