Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Basics of real-time physics engines and AI engines for computer games. Weekly tasks and the game project are implemented using a game engine.

Assessment and permitted materials

Weekly tasks and a semester project.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Basi knowledge in programming. Final grading is computed according to:
--All individual tasks and the semester project are graded
--Final grading is due to weighted sum S of gradings of weekly tasks and game
--Individual tasks have an overall weight of 70%
--Final computer game has a weight of 30%, must be shown to instructor in person!
--Positive ONLY if computer game works!
--Final grading due to weighted sum S:
S>90% : Sehr Gut (1)
S>80% : Gut (2)
S>70% : Befriedigend (3)
S>59% : Genügend (4)
S<60% Nicht Genügend (5)

Examination topics

Game physics: rigid body physics,, collision detection and response
Game AI: movement, path finding, decision making
