## Description

This project is a structured game development learning roadmap and technical skill curriculum. It provides a visual representation of the core concepts, programming languages, engines, and tools required to become a professional game developer.

The roadmap maps educational paths for game software education and career planning. It includes specific guidance on mastering game engines and visualizing the relationship between frontend, backend, and devops skills necessary to build complete game projects.

The curriculum is organized into tree-structured learning paths and delivered via markdown-based content. The project employs a documentation-as-code workflow, using version control to manage updates to the educational materials.
