The first focus will be the overview of games andtheir development. Career paths in the entertainment fieldwill be reviewed. Critical criteria for gaming success will beresearched. Game design concepts to be covered include thehistory of game programming, game psychology, andcreating a game design outline. The second focus will be thehands on development of games, with all their majorfeatures incorporated, using a scripting language, such asavailable in Adobe Flash. (Co-requisite: CP 107 or permissionof instructor based on basic programming skills and aworking knowledge of Windows operating system) A gradeof C- or higher must be achieved to meet the prerequisitecriteria for subsequent major field courses.AG 110 Math and Physics for Game Programmers 2-3-3Math and physics play key roles in game programming.Effective use of math is needed for code design, datastructures utilization, using design patterns, developingartificial intelligence (AI), using scripting engines, controlling3D pipelines and texture mapping development. Math is alsoneeded to implement the physics utilized in Newton's lawsand concepts of collisions and reactions. Programmedapplications which use math and physics in gamedevelopment will form the foundation for this hands oncourse. (Prerequisites: AG 101 and MT 124 or MT 133 or withpermission of instructor. Alternatively, students may havecompleted or are taking at the same time higher level mathcourses which are MT 134 or MT 205 and have taken AG101)AG 120 Advanced Topics in C# and C++ 2-3-3Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and its effective designwill be the major focus of this course.
