Catalog description

CSCI 2541 provides students with an introduction to and many opportunities for applied game prototyping. Students learn about the theory and methods of creating game prototypes for design and development of original game concepts. Topics covered include: breakthrough game design, proof of concept and iterative prototyping, and prototype QA testing and documentation. Lab activities are designed to foster critical thinking and problem solving skills through the development of an understanding of the development process as well as interactive programming techniques through the creation of working interactive programs in a high-level programming language.
