PA199 Game Engine Develpoment
1: Introduction, Organization Notes
Marek Trtík, Jiří Chmelík
Semester: Autumn 2024

Goal of the Course
Deepen knowledge and experience with game development:
►Advanced theory at lectures
►More “low level” approach to game programming
►Individual term project

Organization
►Lectures – gamedev theory – engines, math, physics, etc.
►Seminars – consulations for projects
►Home work – on term project
►Participation:
►lectures – not mandatory, recorded (not this year)
►seminars – mandatory, allowed up to two unexcused absences
►Grading based on:
►term project
►oral exam

Organization – Grading
►Base requirements:
►Implement all base requirements of the term project.
►Pass the oral exam.
Failing in any of these requirements will result in grade F.
►Grade: based on the number of „bonus“ points:
►A: 4+
►B: 3
►C: 2
►D: 1
►E: 0
►
Bonus Points Sources:
►Mid-term Milestone: 0—1
►Project: 0—5
►Exam: 0—2

Lectures Topics

Organization – Semestral Project
►Goal
►implement your own game engine (stub of it) from the scratch (not really)
►Implement simple game (inspired by „Breakout“) in your own engine
►Full semester project, individual work beyond seminars expected
►See assignment in IS for details.
