| Course Objectives: | This class is focus end tries to explain theories of digital game engines and also diagram schemes which any game designer should prepare before start to create a game. During this class, we will focus on key elements in video game mechanics like emergence, progression, economy, macro and micro systems and also dice usage while creating a table top game as a project. |

The students who have succeeded in this course; The students who have succeeded in this course; Will learn principle of game mechanics Will learn diagrams which used in game mechanics Will improve their analytic thinking Will familiar macro and micro game mechanisms in video games Will learn new information’s about level design |
| Focuses on the mechanics and design of role-playing games (RPG) and simulation games. Students will learn about complex mechanics and analyze examples while creating their own games; a small RPG and a simulation game of their choice. Topics may include skill systems, character advancement, equipment variety, supply systems, economic simulations, vehicle simulations, and sport simulations. |
