Building on the previous two courses (IMMT 237, 238), students learn deeper interactive scripting capabilities of Flash. This course briefly details the science of game development using the Flash software, including design, story character development, the physics and motion of a game, and audio issues. Many of the latest features of Flash CS3 are covered, including the new sound channels, bitmap caching, texture pages, and more. Some other important issues will be discussed including, how to add effects to games, including motion blur and depth blur, flow effects, drop shadow, bevel with highlights, and video with alpha. Through this course, a variety of games are created using the power of Flash and the most recent advancements in ActionScript 3.0. With a basic knowledge of Flash and the techniques provided here, developers will be able to enhance their productivity and produce high quality games that make a real impact.

This course introduces students to the basics of 2D game programming using the JAVA language. It starts out by explaining the basics of writing a simple 2D vector-based game (i.e., using lines and filled polygons) that evolves into a fully featured sprite-based game by the end of the course. Students will learn about Java’s graphics classes, and how to get input from the user and how to play sound effects and music – all within the context of an online game. Previous knowledge of Java is recommended, but not required; students who have never used Java before should be able to keep up if they keep a Java primer or reference book handy.
