CSCI 1551 is an introductory course in how a 3D, multiplayer, networked game engine would build platforms and control game logic. The game engine is Panda3D, developed by Disney. Panda3D is a framework for 3D rendering and game development for Python and C++ programs. Panda3D is Open Source and free for any purpose. Game development with Panda3D will consist of writing a Python program that controls the Panda3D library. Computer lab projects will provide hands-on experience investigating the various components of a network game.
