Learning Outcomes

Game Programming using C and C++

2D and 3D Graphics Programming using OpenGL

Matrix functions control view and object locations

Arrays can be used to manage multiple objects

Targeting and collisions require distance calculation

Game pad / controller state needs to be checked every frame

Game speed should to be syncronised with time

Model matrix is used to locate and rotate objects

Angles are converted to x,y using cosine and sine

Limits must be applied to objects to keep them on screen

Perspective and Parallel view projections

Game world must have constraints and limits

Constants can be used to specify fixed quantities

Designing and developing games can be a lot of fun! 

Lesson Plans

Session 1 - Getting Started

To get started we show you how to create a simple hello world program using the 3D Game Builder SDK.
Next we demonstrate how to draw geometric primitives using OpenGL. OpenGL is an industry standard graphics library for drawing 2D and 3D graphics. It is used to develop a wide range of software including 3D modelling and animation tools such as 3D Studio Max and Maya. It supports a wide range of hardware and operating systems from mobile phones to super computers. For more information on OpenGL visit www.opengl.org
We use the language of game developers, C and C++, to develop our projects. This language can be challenging but it ensures you are using the same technology that the "real world" developers use. Therefore you are encouraged to learn more about C and C++ independently of this course.
