Courses

Introduction to System Programming (10010)

Abstract:

Basic and advanced topics of C programming language – pointers, dynamic memory allocation,

structure of large scale project, generic func tions,

bitwise operations, IO manipulations, development process and tools.

Artificial Intelligence for Games Development (10207)

Abstract:

The course will introduce philosophy of AI,

knowledge presentation, algorithms for problem solving,

search algorithms and applying them in games programming.

Games Development (10220)

Abstract:

The course will focus on examples of computer/video games,

the specific problems related to games development and

the solutions to these problems. The course is based on Unity3D IDE.

During the course the following topics will be considered: Game Objects,

Transformations, Materials and Textures, Rigid Body and Colliders,

Character Controllers, Light Sources, C# scripts.

Special attention will be payed to Terrain Building, Trees,

Grass and Lakes, creation and importing assets like Humanoid,

Warrior, Knights, animation technics. Locomotion and Models motion will be added as well as sound effects and UI elements. One of the central topics will be AI and NPC development related to it.

To carry out the real game the enemies, fire and chasing will be studied.

Computer Games Design and Production Workshop (10267)

Abstract:

The workshop will focus on following topics: game idea, where the ideas come from, how to compare different ideas, how to enhance the basic game, what is the audience of a game, how to adopt the basic game to different target groups, what do these group expect from a game, study the interest curve, adding story around a game, is it possible to personalize a game story, what are the professional positions in game development and production process.
