Introduction to the rigorous field of interactive simulation and gaming. Learn about the major components of modern simulations and game from both a design perspective and a technical perspective. Topics include fundamentals of simulation/gaming, user interface design, human computer interaction, input/output paradigms, and an overview of simulation/games design process. Lab activities are designed to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills through the development of an understanding of the development process as well as interactive programming techniques through the creation of working interactive programs in a high-level programming language.
