    Hi,
    as we can see in all posts and tutorial some kind of classifications, so I believe when somebody start learning game development he must be a Beginner , but for Intermediate and Professional it needs some kind of measurement , so could you help me in determining this criteria, as I want to check my level :)

    @Ghoneim, I'd use "advanced" rather than professional. Professional basically just means you're making money and you don't necessarily need advanced knowledge to make money with games.

    The main difference between beginner and intermediate is that when you're intermediate, you're answering more questions than you're asking.

    Advanced can mean a lot of things, but essentially it means you can do certain things that the average developer can't. Could be implementing complex data structures, advanced AI, implementing physics, creating complex rendering and/or compute shaders, advanced optimization/memory management techniques, etc.
