Description

Students will work in groups to create a computer game of their choosing using "Game Maker". (see http://www.gamemaker.nl.). With Game Maker, students can use simple drag-and-drop actions to create professional looking games without having to write any code in a traditional programming language. Each week, there will be a one hour lecture followed by one hour of supervised group work on the game. Lectures will cover both the art (e.g. liberal arts, the social sciences, and psychology) and science (e.g. computer graphics, artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, security, distributed programming and simulation) of computer game design.

Note(s): This course may not be taken by students enrolled in a CSE program or major.
