At the end of the course students will be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of the main mathematical concepts used in computer game design; Mathematically model all the components of an interactive computer game; Have a good understanding of the collision detection techniques that are used in computer games and apply them in practice; Design and implement an interactive computer game from scratch (i.e. not using a games engine).
