CSC 255 - Programming for Games and Interactive Technologies

Students explore the use of the computer as an interactive tool for entertainment and education. Students learn fundamental software design and programming techniques in order to develop interactive applications and games. We explore the use of novel input mechanisms including motion-based controllers (e.g. Wii-motes) and computer vision techniques. An introduction to gaming physics and strategic Artificial Intelligence is presented, as well as a survey of state-of-the-art gaming and interactive storytelling technologies.
