- Course objectives
- This course intends to introduce advanced game design to the students. The course will cover all major aspects of game design such as advanced computer graphics, human computer interaction and game design issues. 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).
