ITLL 4055 - Video Game Design and Development

Using a comprehensive and analytical approach to game engine architectures, this program offers students the opportunity to learn how to effectively implement game ideas. A reasonable familiarity with computers and a background in high school level mathematics are all that is assumed. No prior game or graphics programming experience are necessary.

The curriculum is divided into eight modules covering five major areas of study: programming languages, mathematics skills, 3D graphics pipeline programming, real-time game engine architectures, and artificial intelligence algorithms.

The Video Game Design and Development program is an appropriate starting point for students who seek a professional career as a game developer. It is also well-suited for enthusiastic amateurs and gamers looking to explore this exciting field as a recreational endeavor.

Noncredit courses do not produce academic credit nor appear on a Colorado State University academic transcript.
