Game Programming 11
Course Outline
Video Game Programming 11 at Wellington is a course whose objective is to introduce students to computer programming through video game construction. The programming skills will be taught through game construction and the students will be given credit for Computer Programming 11.
Evaluation: The student will be evaluated based on the projects and assignments that he/she completes. Self Evaluation is a key component. Students will be rewarded for constructing projects that are creative and entertaining. Every assignment will be given a due date and late marks may be deducted if the projects are handed in late.
Attendance: While there are tutorials that are provided for the students, it is very important that students attend for the IN CLASS instruction. Its much easier to learn something new when the class is learning it together rather than on your own.
