| Description: Video games are not only engaging to play, but challenging and fun to program. Many games are in fact simulations: they define a game world, and model that world and the interactions of elements in it. To program games, one must excel at this type of modeling while simultaneously handling real-time input and output to create a compelling experience. This project-based course explores techniques at the heart of game programming. By working through design and coding activities both with a team and independently, students will strengthen their core programming skills, their ability to model complex problems, and their skills for developing software in a team. This course is programming-intensive. |
