ITC372 Games 2 - Advanced Games Programming (8)
Abstract
This subject introduces the tools and practices needed to create a computer game by applying established software design principles. Students will learn about the game development process, including level design and the creation of art assets using pipeline techniques. In creating their game, students will work in a team environment and use the methods and resources provided by a modern Game Engine and Development kit. |
