GAME 1010 Video Game Programming (42.0 hours/$459.00)
This course serves as an introduction for any student in the Video Games Program to the role of the programmer in the development of a game, what games look like from a programmer's viewpoint, and how programmers translate game designs, artistic specifications and production requirements into code. It will include hands-on programming using Java to drive the concepts home. Cross-discipline collaboration, communication and compromise are key concepts in game development.

GAME 1020 Tools Programming (42.0 hours/$459.00)
Every game development team will write or adapt tools for making the development easier. They could be simple tools for gathering the game program and data and pushing it to the target device, or could be complex tools like level editors. Since bad tools can sometimes be worse than no tools at all, it is important for a well-rounded game programmer to have thought about the role of tools in a game's development. That is the reason this course is a requirement. Topics include: When should you make a tool?; Common tool patterns; Commercial tools and components; Open source tools and components; Making your user's life easier, even if it makes your job harder; The responsibility of maintenance; Pipelines; Cross team tool issues. Prerequisites: Video game Programming, C/C++ Programming Experience or consent of instructor.
