Overview of Course:

This course provides the capstone experience for students in the Simulation and Digital Entertainment program. Working with faculty and visiting industry experts, students propose a concept for a computer game or applied interactive simulation, developing that concept over the course of the semester through several stages of specification and prototyping. Theoretical readings and critical studies of existing games provide insight and context. Final prototypes are entered in a competition at the end of the course whose jury will include representatives from game and simulation development companies.
