Description:

Prerequisite(s): CS 529 & CS 541 A game engine is a complex framework or library that provides vital functionalities to any video game independent of the game content or genre. A well-designed game engine must at least provide the following functionalities: data management, rendering, networking, dynamics, input controllers, audio, editing tools, modeling tools, and a high-level application programming interface (API) for the entire framework that hides the low-level details of graphics, networking, and audio programming. Thus, a game engine is a complex library consisting of various components that must all be efficiently integrated into a single framework using the principles of object-oriented design. In this course, students will study the computer graphics, mathematics, data structures, and algorithms required to design and architect a game engine that can handle complex graphics applications that handle three-dimensional data such as games and computer-aided design.
