GAME 111 Intro to Programming for Games4 credits
This course introduces the basic concepts, vocabulary, and best practices of computer programming and how to apply them to the creation of video games. The course assumes no prior programming knowledge and is designed to familiarize students with the basic principles of digital design in form of computer code, simple logic, programming flow, and the use of variables. Emphasis is on integrating programming fundamentals into simple video game projects. Basic principles and disciplines of scripting to create simple interactive projects and an introduction to C# language are also covered. Additional topics include operators, conditionals, loops, and functions.
Prerequisites: ENGL 93 (or placement into ENGL 99 or higher) and MATH 87 (or placement into MATH 98 or higher)
