Programming Games

Lectures and materials

The goals of this class are to introduce you to the concepts of computer programming and provide you the opportunity (REQUIRE) that you use the concepts to produce working projects. The critical aspects of modern programming are the specification of logic, graphical user interfaces and event-handling.  Computer games provide excellent examples of each of these and that is why we focus on games.  The course is not playing games, but making games.
