Video games are not only fun to play but interesting and challenging to program, involving elements that are useful in programming other sorts of systems as well. They incorporate graphics, audio, and animation, must model relatively complex systems, and often have relatively strict requirements on timing. In this course, we explore techniques behind game implementation by implementing some of our own. This course is programming (and gaming) intensive.
Prereq: COMSC-225 and either MATH-100 or equivalent as indicated by the math placement test or completion of a higher level math course.
