Annotation
Students familiarize themselves with the issues encountered during programming computer games. They learn topics such as 3D model representation, animations, collision detection, physical simulation, and real-time rendering in the context of computer games development. During exercises they will develop a computer game in teams: from the game concept and design document, through programming game mechanics to the presentation in front of a jury of experts. The exercises are build around the Unity framework.
Study targets
To gain theoretical as well as practical knowledge needed for computer games development and learn basic principles used in computer games development.
