Course Objectives: | This course aims to help students explore the game programming world by combining basic design and programming skills and to introduce the frequently used terms, techniques and algorithms in game development projects. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Describes the vocabulary, environments, theories and methodologies used in game design. 2. Analyze game designs in terms of user interface design 3. Design data structures and algorithms. 4. Prepare the prototype. 5. Design educational games. 6. Analyze game development phases and project them. 7. Use basic game development environments and apply algorithms 8. Describes the stages of testing. |
This course will support students the emerging trends, and frameworks of game design and development, why it has a great potential to apply in IT projects, and how to use it effectively. The course allows students to understand game design fundementals, develop practical skills in using game elements using industrial case studies. There is no strict design and development environment for this course. |
