Hey, all!
I hope you're having a great end to the semester. I just wrapped up
teaching CS 543 (Principles of Computer Mediated Entertainment) with a crew
of wonderful students. They shipped 4 products (including 3 games) on
Android, delivered 1 game to Newgrounds, 1 game to Kongregate, and a final
desktop game.
In Spring 2013 I will be teaching my patent pending world famous Game
Engine Architecture class. Highlights include:
- In-class code reviews (you'll learn more about writing code during
these than any other time at Stevens)
- Complete A-Z overviews and in-depth conversations on how real, honest
to God triple-A game engines are built
- The most code you will write at Stevens (engines are large beasts;
but, building one from start to finish is immensely educational and
rewarding)
- Learn about actor/controller, data-driven design, content pipelines,
scene partitioning and organization, collision systems and resolution,
event bus architecture, multi-tier architecture, input design, gameplay
programming, game AI & pathfinding, weapon & gameplay systems, sound
engines, network engineering, and way, way, way more!
- At the end of the semester, you'll have a shipped product capable of
being demoed to future employers (critical)
- Garner a deep understanding of game engineering
If you're interested and do not have the requirements, send me an e-mail (
aagrapsas at gmail.com) and we can talk about your experience and passion and
see about getting you signed into the class.
For those that do not know, I am an adjunct professor at Stevens. I was the
original founder of the SGDC back when I went to Stevens. I have worked on
triple-A shooters for Electronic Arts and THQ as a systems engineer, tools
engineer, and gameplay programmer. I have shipped over a dozen games on
every contemporary platform you can think of. I'm an engineering manager at
a venture-backed games start up in Manhattan (meaning I hire, fire, review
mountains of code, and lead the building of complex, large, immensely
utilized systems that support millions of users).
So, feel free to reach out!
Thank you!
~ Andrew
