    PREREQUISITE
    Does tins course replicate the content of a previously approved course to such anextent that students should not receive credit for both courses?
    If SO. thisshould be noted in the prerequisite.
    FR0M: Completion of 48 units.
    LEARNING OUTCOMES
    TO:
    : Completion of 48 units, including IAT 265.
    RATIONALE
    The course introduces students to game design. To investigate game design, students must develop the skills needed to
    create simple games or to rebuild pieces of an incomplete game. This in turn requires that students have the knowledge
    and skills lo create new programs and modify existing programs written in scripting languages such as action script.
    IAT265 helps students acquire such knowledge and skills. Currently students entering IAT 312 do not have the necessary
    algorithmic thinking background to enable them to succeed in developing or modifying game mechanics introduced in flash
    or game engines.
