Via lectures and hands-on projects, the course explores principles of 2D and 3D graphics, animation, sound, and collision detection using frameworks like Unity and LÖVE 2D, as well as languages like Lua and C#. By course's end, students have programmed several of their own games and gained a thorough understanding of the basics of game design and development.
