Scripting for Games

This course will introduce students to scripting for video games, making use of modern game engine technologies as well as the commonly used math topics within game development. Students will learn how to create custom logic and mechanics for real-time simulations, using a scripting language. Technical components of common game engines, such as physics, animations, game objects, transform and position information, as well as visual effects will be explored and manipulated from the perspective of a software developer. Commonly used math topics for game development will be implemented in real-time systems.
