Technical Requirements

Everything you need to know about system specifications and development environment setup for our game development programs

Hardware Prerequisites

Your development machine needs enough power to handle modern game engines and graphics rendering. We've found that students with underpowered systems struggle with performance during our hands-on coding sessions.

  • 8GB RAM minimum (16GB recommended for Unity projects)
  • Dedicated graphics card (GTX 1060 or equivalent)
  • Multi-core processor (Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5)
  • 500GB available storage space
  • Dual monitor setup highly recommended

Development Software

Most of the software we use is free, though some premium tools make development smoother. Don't worry about purchasing everything upfront — we'll guide you through installations during the first week of our September 2025 cohort.

  • Unity 2023.3 LTS (free personal license)
  • Visual Studio Code with game development extensions
  • Git version control system
  • Node.js for web-based casino game development
  • Photoshop or GIMP for asset creation

Detailed System Specifications

Operating System
Windows 10/11 (64-bit), macOS 10.15+, or Ubuntu 20.04+. Windows tends to work best with game development tools, but our instructors support all platforms.
Internet Connection
Stable broadband connection for downloading game assets, version control, and live coding sessions. We stream a lot of content during our January 2026 intensive workshops.
Browser Requirements
Chrome 100+ or Firefox 98+ for web-based game testing. Safari works but can be finicky with WebGL casino games.
Audio Equipment
Headphones for sound design modules and microphone for group coding sessions. Gaming headsets work perfectly fine.

Development Environment Setup

Setting up your development environment properly saves hours of frustration later. We've seen too many students jump straight into coding without configuring their tools correctly.

During our autumn 2025 program kickoff, we spend the entire first day getting everyone's systems properly configured. This includes setting up version control, configuring Unity for optimal performance, and installing debugging tools that'll become essential as projects get more complex.

Pro tip: Create a dedicated folder structure for all your game projects before starting. Organization matters more than you think when you're juggling multiple casino game prototypes.

Our campus labs feature high-performance workstations that exceed all minimum requirements. Each station runs the latest development software and includes premium licenses for industry-standard tools. Students get 24/7 access during intensive project weeks in our winter 2026 advanced courses.

Getting Started Checklist

Before our September 2025 program begins, we recommend getting familiar with your development setup. You don't need to master everything, but basic familiarity with these tools makes the first few weeks much smoother.

  • Install Unity Hub and create a Unity account
  • Download Visual Studio Code and explore basic features
  • Set up a GitHub account for version control
  • Test your graphics card with a simple Unity project
  • Join our Discord server for technical discussions
  • Complete the pre-course JavaScript refresher (optional but helpful)

Questions about compatibility or specific hardware? Our technical team responds to emails within 24 hours and can help you determine if your current setup will work for our programs.
