If you would be interested in making your own 2D game from scratch then consider signing up for CS 133G. In this course we will discuss game development, introduce programming, and give you some experience making games. Time and work are involved in this course. Hopefully you will find the work fun, and the experience will clarify what game development is behind the scenes.

All skills levels are welcome. If you have experience with art, graphic design, digital audio, or programming, your project work can be something to add to your portfolio or resume. If you already are familiar with a game engine you are welcome to use that for your project.

In order to avoid being dropped as a No Show student you must complete the following activities before noon of the day on the first Sunday of the term: 

1. Post to the Introduction Forum

2. Complete the Course Information Quiz with 100% to open the course content

3. Complete and upload to D2L your files for Lab 1 and Homework 1. 

Previous students who have gotten a lot out of this course had AMPLE time to do their class work and to explore other ideas or small side-projects. The main complaint students have about this course is that there isn't enough time to do everything they want on their projects, so know that I am here to help you keep things feasible.

Topics from the textbook constitute 20% of the grade. Students must choose either to take multiple-choice tests based on textbook material or create a report/presentation based on researched material.

Game development labs, assignments, and projects constitute 80% of the grade.

The course textbook, "Game Development Essentials: An Introduction, 3rd Edition" by Jeannie Novak, is optional.  You can rent the book or read the four-hour reserve copies of the textbook at either Sylvania or Rock Creek (there are two copies at Rock Creek). 

We will be using Gdevelop which you will need to download from . You can get started here:

We will not be using the "WEB APP" online version of Gdevelop.
