Hey, I’m Alex, and I’m six months away from graduating uni with two degrees—one of them in computer science (ironically, I still feel clueless about coding 🤦). A month ago, I decided to teach myself to code for real by making a video game. What could go wrong, right?

In this video, I’ll take you through my rollercoaster journey of attempting to build two games—a rage-inducing 2D vertical platformer and a cozy top-down adventure game. From setting up my first project in React Native to learning GitHub (finally!), battling with collision detection, and falling down the rabbit hole of Unreal Engine 5, it’s been a wild ride of triumphs, mistakes, and endless tutorials.

If you’re into coding, gaming, or just watching someone stumble their way to success, hit play! And don’t forget to like, subscribe, and let me know in the comments—what’s the hardest coding challenge you’ve ever faced? 🚀
