expected the majority of IAT students will enroll in CMPT 166, some may take CMPT
120
at colleges or elsewhere because
it
has more articulation agreements in place.
If
this course replicates the content of a previously approved course to the extent that
students should not receive credit for both courses, this should be noted in the
prerequisite.

RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE
SlAT's recent curriculum review (by faculty, students, alumni, and industry) revealed unanimous
agreement to strengthen students' technical skills. There is strong interest by students and faculty
to expand game making instruction. This course will be the second of a required two course
sequence starting with
CMPT 166. By combining video game history and design with
programming,
it will help students develop technical skill in the context of contemporary video
game culture and industry, drawing in students who might otherwise be programming averse. This .
course will be
part of the SlAT-based TechOne starting in Fall 2011.

167-3-Digital Games: Genre, Structure, Programming and Play
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Introduces game genres, structures, and programming methods basic
to developing games. Students
learn
how games are designed and how to program the underlying patterns that facilitate play and
engagement. Issues
of user interface, skills and competition are discussed as are principles of compelling
entertainment
for
players.
This
is a second programming course that covers practical programming concepts in the context of game
development.
The course introduces game mechanics or systems and programming methods basic to
game
development. Students learn how games are structured and designed, and how to program the
underlying methods that facilitate play and engagement. Issues
of user interface, skills and competition
are discussed
as are principles of compelling entertainment for players.
Students
will
be introduced to these key ideas through event-driven object oriented programming. The
course
will use the 2D programming tool Flash Actionscript to design and develop games of complexity
similar
to 2D casual digital games. An important aspect of this course is a consideration of the cultural
and
social place of digital games in culture, and an introduction to aspects of game design.
COURSE
OBJECTIVES:
The course consists of several learning obj ectives. Students should demonstrate ability to:
• Understand the fundamental concepts and components concerned with the representation and
processing
of 2D game imagery and animation.
• Understand the fundamentals of game mechanics and interaction game design.
• Develop a simple 2D game through game development cycle: design, implementation, testing,
and iteration on this cycle to develop a successful game.
• Program a simple 2D game using tools used in class, thus demonstrating understanding of basic
programming principles
of
o Variables
o Conditionals
o Loops
o Data structures
o Event-driven programming, including handling
of user input, handling of collision
detection events, etc.
• Understand and design user interfaces and environments, thus showing understanding of basic
color theory and visual design.
• Situate their game design within the context of current game genre and game culture.
DELIVERY MEmOD:
Computing concepts are introduced as needed for game mechanics, image manipulation, animation,
narrative delivery, and event handling. The course is based on unit sequences which build in
programming
complexity.
The units
will
be as follows:
• Weeks 1-3: Introduction to Games and Culture, Game Mechanics, Genre, programming
constructs (variables, events, input, etc.)
• Weeks 4-6: Introduction to Serious Games and educational games, animation through sprites,
game process (testing and iteration) and documentation
• Weeks 7-10: Platform game: manipulation of imagery, space representation and movement,
inventory management, basics
of game systems: collision systems, inventory systems, interaction
design and feedback systems to the users
• Weeks 11-13: Platform game 2: rotations of images, dynamic manipulation ofHUD (Heads up
Display) as an indication of tension
