Course Description

Introduces object-oriented architectures and software design patterns used for game design. Explores a game engine software framework to design and implement several kinds of games, animation techniques, physics simulation, user controls, graphical methods, and intelligent behaviors. Recommended: one term of a programming language such as C, C++, Java or C#. Audit available.

Addendum to Course Description

Students will complete an implementation of several computer games and a teamoriented final project. This work will be conducted partly in the PCC labs and partly on the student’s home PC.
