Program Overview

Game programming is a multi-billion dollar industry that is among the fastest growing in the world. The video game industry is in need of trained designers and programmers who understand the complexity and sophistication of products designed for installation on home computers, game consoles, web pages and cell phones and other devices. If you are creative and like to control the action, Game - Programming is for you.

Program content introduces you to fundamental game concepts including introductory computer programming in C++, basic game console electronics, computer operating system usage, and database storage techniques. You will broaden your knowledge by examining and implementing 3-dimensional programs that expand into real games using industry standard libraries. You will also create sounds to include in games and to integrate these sounds into your applications and will learn to use standard game engines to accomplish sophisticated graphics and interaction within your program control. Portability of code is emphasized at all stages of instruction.

Complementing the game development skills set is a sound background in software design methodology and programming.
