This course focuses on building efficient video game engines using C++. Programming-specific topics include object-oriented programming, memory management, data efficiency, and the Standard Template Library. These topics are applied to design 2D game engines with object-oriented and/or entity-component system (ECS) methods. These engines are built upon concepts such as sprites, cameras, object collisions, and shaders. Student projects give hands-on experience directly applicable to the video games industry.
