Advanced Game Design and Development

This course presents a rigorous approach to the design and development of computer games, emphasizing the computational and programming tasks involved. Students will learn the basics of physics simulation, graphics, audio, 2D/3D art, and software engineering, as applied to game development. Topics such as the game engine, sound, rendering, modeling, and user interfaces will also be explored. Knowledge of these topics will be applied to the development of game-oriented projects. This is primarily a hands-on course where real-world skills, including design, teamwork, management, documentation, and effective communication are critical.
