Students learn about the major components of modern simulations and games from both a design perspective and a technical perspective. Topcis covered include: fundamentals of simulation/gaming, user interface desing, human computer interaction, input/output paradigms, and an overivew of siluation/game desing process. Lab activites are desinged to foster cricital thinking and problemn 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.

This course teaches students the basic skills of software engineering. The course will cover topics in software processes, software development tools, software desigh, testing and management. The contents will be provided with the intent to develop computer games in a team environment.

Prequisite: COS 275. This course is a continuation of the Gaming I, and students will learn to build up on the previous knoweldge. They will learn the advanced level material such as Graphics, Sound and Animations. they will build professional looking user interfaces and will use GUI for interactive simulation and gaming.

This course provides essential language of online game development. This course addresses online game development fro teh web as a complex, multi-faceted, service-oriented vusiness, instead of focusing solely on technical, artistic, or game techniques.

Topics in two and three-dimensional graphics, along with a modern 3D graphics API. Introduction to the foundations of three-dimensional display: projections, geometric transformations, scan conversion, clipping, lighting, shading, and texturing. Credit: 4 semester hours.

Prequisite: COS/DGE 375. This course involves the study of the technology, sciene and storytelling involved in the creation computer games. It will emphasize hands-on development of fames. Relevant software technologies including programming languages and simulation engines will be discussed. We assume significant programming experience and knowledge of programming language concepts. We also assume studenst can learn new programming concepts and systems on their own (direct, PenGL).

Prequisites: COS 108, COS 109. this course teaches students the basic skills in programming in the area of mobile devices and will be able to develop games.

Prequisites: COS 108, COS 109, COS 275. this course addressed Virtual Reality (VR) interface techniques and programming. Topics include physical interface devices, methods of manipulating a virtual world, evaluating VR applications, and programming VR applications. Students will create their own VR applications.

Prequisite: COS/DGE 475. Interactive gaming puts into practive all of the information and knoweldge gained in the previous course. In this sequence the student first identify, then build, the necessary components for a full working 3D simulation\game engine. We assume significant programming experience and knowledge of programming language concepts. We also asuume students can learn new programming concepts and systems on their own (direct, OpenGL).
