CIS 463 - Game Engine Design

Credits 3
Lecture / 3 hours per week
Requirements: Prerequisite: CIS 360; C or Better
Design and implementation of core backbone of video game components. Unlike CIS 464 Game Design, this course does not focus on game content, but rather on creation of the components that facilitate game content. Such topics include resource management, 2D and 3D graphics, physics, rigid body collision detection, human computer interaction, network framework, artificial intelligence waypoint systems, and how to pool them all together into one eloquent package - a game engine.
