Object Oriented Training
Object-Oriented Programming for Games Boot Camp
"Great instruction! Made the course extremely easy to understand. Very thorough." -Debbie Ramkissoon, Randstad
Our Video Game Programming & Design classes are provided by our training partner Principia Game Labs.
Building on a foundation of procedural programming knowledge, this hands-on course introduces object-oriented programming from a game development perspective. Major topics include data structures, recursion, exceptions, classes, inheritance, and polymorphism. Students learn to program using the game-industry language Python and are exposed to a simple, object-oriented game engine. Numerous examples along with in-class exercises reinforce each new concept. As a final project, students program a 2D game with graphics, simple physics, and basic Artificial Intelligence (AI). The course is designed for those with some programming background who are interested in game programming or scripting. Game artists, producers, and designers with some programming experience would also benefit from the course.
Prerequisites:
Game Programming Foundations or equivalent programming experience.
Performance-based objectives:
To introduce students to object-oriented programming from a game development perspective. By the end of the course, students should be able to write object-oriented programs in a modern language used in the game industry.
