| Course Objectives: | The main objective of this course is to provide the students with a deeper understanding of game programming/development concepts using Unreal Engine 4 – an industry-leading professional development tool/editor for creating interactive experiences and/or enterprise fields of real-time training simulation, visualization, and media/entertainment-. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; By the end of this course, each student should: 1.Have a comprehensive understanding of the game programming concepts such as object-oriented approach, complex data structures, and commonly used algorithms. 2.Get a better understanding at usage of the engine and its components. 3.Get a better competency with the editor. 4.Learn further how the engine works and how it works to help make one's project run efficiently. 5.Learn about the tools and strategies to solve issues and debug errors. |
| This course contains both theoretical and practical applications on game development. There will be a final project in which students are required to build a game of their own with the points taught during the classes. The fundamental aspects of Unreal Engine 4 which were explained in previous Game Development I/II courses will be further explained and get more detailed with every lecture. Students will be expected to complete assigned projects to demonstrate and develop their skills with blueprints and assisted C++. |
