(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I am not very familiar with game design but am interested in learning it. So any tips would help out.

Should jumped into a general programming course messing around with game design at a later date :p

This is all they had.

They will most likely teach the course as if everyone is completely new to it. I'm currently doing an IT course at college and that's how it works there. Have a look at the Unity game engine and get familiar with it. They will have all the necessary information you need, but if you feel it is not advanced enough you could always just do stuff outside of the course.
