4.00 Credits
As more devices become smaller and more mobile, the need to have games to entertain users in downtime increases. This course looks at how to create games for mobile platforms using a systematic approach. The java programming language is utilized in creating these games. How to weave in audio and video is also addressed along with considering factors such as user inputs involved in playing the game. Prerequisite: Programming II Lecture 33%, Lab 67%

4.00 Credits
This course is designed to equip digital media students with skills in 3D character creation and effects in a game environment. During this course students will explore advanced 3D modeling and animation theory and principles which focus on character animation as it applies to the gaming environment. Specifically, these principles and theories are applied to the context of interactive narratives and games. Advanced modeling will also be explored. Student will engage in the study of character posing and rigging for games, advanced animation, creative character animation as well as morphing and blending to create expressive characters. Prerequisite: Polygon Modeling

4.00 Credits
In this course, students will combine their knowledge of art techniques with the psychology of art reception to develop art projects aimed at producing specific reactions. Students will experiment with different elements of art, including shape, form, light, color, and movement, and use techniques including digital photography and imaging. In addition, students will learn to analyze mainstream graphic-design projects in terms of their intended effects, and to use their analyses to produce experimental art projects. The course builds upon traditional and digital visual-art skills learned in previous courses to create imaginative solutions to digital problems. Prerequisite: Advanced Methods of Computer Graphics
-
4.00 Credits
During this course students will learn advanced techniques in manipulating digital imagery, video and 3D special effects. Topics include image and video representation, digital workflow, lighting, rendering, compositing mixed environments (live and CG), morphing, particle effects, dynamics, camera properties, match-moving, filters, and virtual cinematography. The students will learn the proper application of effects in film and video at a professional production level. Prerequisite: Polygon Modeling
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to storyboarding and the planning processes of visual storytelling. Translation of concepts such as shot types, continuity, pacing, transitions and sequencing into a visual narrative. During the course the students also explore cinematic vocabulary and storyboard technique in the creation of both personal and professional expression. Prerequisite: Multimedia Portfolio Development
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on the development of visual elements and programming used in the development of a video game. It covers areas such as performance tuning, debugging, designing for test, pipeline management and distribution, study of software architecture design between platforms, object oriented practices for game play, asset management and coding best practices. It also covers areas like cross-platform porting and multi-lingual techniques. Prerequisite: Programming II
-
4.00 Credits
In this course, we will cover the fundamentals of audio programming for games. Topics covered include basics such as audio formats and common hardware configurations and loading sounds in ADPCM format. Students will explore play back "one shot" and loopingsounds; and stream audio from an external device. They will then use these building blocks to write a low-level sound engine that will be implemented into a game engine. Prerequisite: Programming II
-
4.00 Credits
An important aspect in a game or simulation is to be able to render what is happening in the game in realistic terms based on standard real physics principles. This course is designed to allow the game or simulation programmer to be able to translate the ideas and sequences of a game into realistic actions. Key components in this class will be the opportunity for students to develop tools, demos, and working games that utilize and follow real physics. Prerequisites: Programming II, The Physics of Gaming
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed around a final project in Industrial Simulation. We will focus on design and research issues pertinent to design exploration and presentation through simulations. Throughout the course we will explore concepts in modeling, simulation, and design common to many domains, and investigate specific applications from a variety of fields ranging from weather to ecology to traffic management and architectural interactivity. Prerequisites: Graphics Development with Open GL, Game and Simulation Lighting Techniques
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide an understanding of advanced techniques for electronic game design and programming. Topics will include techniques in graphics game engines, motion generation, behavioral control for autonomous characters, interaction structure, and social and interface issues of multi-user play. Students will culminate these skills into a final project that will demonstrate their understanding of proper game creation techniques. Prerequisites: Graphics Development with DirectX, Graphics Development with OpenGL, Applications of Physics in Game and Simulation Production
