Actually, no.  Unit testing ideally should be done for each and every
class as they are being written (before they are written in fact), no
matter how small and trivial the class.  That way as you compose larger
and larger units of code, the chances of things being right is greater
compared to doing it the other way around.

You may argue that testing doesn't matter for his small game, written
for his own education and amusement.  The fact is that software in
general is of abysmal quality across the boards, and promoting a habit
of unit testing is good, even for trivial, home-grown stuff.
