Course objectives
The aim of the course is to extend and deepen students' knowledge and experience in the area of digital games development. Lessons will cover topics such as game engine architecture, physics in games or procedural generation. Practical experience should be gained via a semestral project.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students will be able to:
demonstrate an understanding of the main mathematical and programming concepts used in computer game development;
design and implement a digital game ``from scratch'' (i.e. not using a game engine), including mathematical and physical model, 3D rendering and a simple user interface;
Syllabus
  • Game engine architecture;
  • Rotations and quaternions;
  • Particle system dynamics;
  • Solving differential equations;
  • motion of rigid bodies;
  • Virtual environments and interaction techniques;
  • Invited lectures.
