Objective of the Course: |
To examine software frameworks, timing techniques, design patterns, two dimensional and three dimensional graphics, fundamental mathematical, physical and statistical models, user interfaces, sound and camera management, and processes such as lighting and shading, which are used for the development of games and simulations. |

Contribution of the Course to Professional Development |
Develops skills to design, mathematically and physically model and program artificial environments, which involve realistic visual and aural elements, change depending on time, or are controllable with interaction. |
