This project focuses on the creation of a real-time game or simulation. Students work together on teams of three to five members and implement technical features, such as audio effects, music playback, pattern movement, simple artificial intelligence, multiplayer, particle systems, scrolling, and simple physics. All projects must be written with a core of C++ code and cannot use middleware such as pre-existing physics engines, networking engines, etc. Additional topics may include an overview of the game industry, effective team communication, planning, documentation, debugging, testing, and iterative software development techniques.
