Minor, Programming for Games

The Programming for Games minor provides students with a hands-on approach to creating the coding backbone for video games. This collection of courses provide project-based, game-engine driven instruction that helps broaden a student's programming skills to include those required in the video game industry.

Students begin with a broad analysis of high-level programming through either ANGD 1313-Game Engines or CIS 2330-Programming Languages I. Then through a series of sequential courses:
ANGD 2371 Game Programming I
ANGD 2372 Game Programming II
ANGD 3371 Game Programming III
ANGD 3372 Game Programming IV

Students will create multiple games using lower-level programming languages to create interactivity using industry-standard game engines.
