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!

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

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

===== Extra:
JavaScript/TypeScript, Java/Kotlin, SQL, Rust
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.
