Subject Desctiption from the Handbook

Designing and building computer games is a challenging task. This subject focuses on the software technologies (such as graphics, networks, software design and artificial intelligence) used in computer games and covers basic interactive design, interface design, game design documentation and play mechanics through hands-on projects.

Offered at: City campus

As a part of this subject you will critique games, write design documents, create simple text-based adventure games and 2D games.

We will be using Fundamentals of Game Design by Ernest Adams (Author), Andrew Rollings as the main textbook for the subject.

This subject evolves and changes every year, but Autumn 2004 and Autumn 2005 offerings will give you some idea of what to expect.

Please see UTSOnline for information about the current semester.
