Course Description

The rapid maturation of real-time game engines has made it possible for game developers to build realistic virtual worlds. The experience that students gain while developing with these engines has widespread applications beyond games, including interactive consumer experiences, architectural visualization, and scientific simulations. This course introduces the Godot engine to students, challenging them to design and build a game; there will be a focus on the production considerations that go into game design. Students will also reflect on the causes and consequences of the rise of the e-sports economy.
