Homework assignments, presentation, projects


1.
2.
3.
Students form groups and they should work as a team.
Develop game levels based on Unreal development kit
Assignments (20%): let the student be familiar with the working
environment of UDK. Each group submit a report weekly.
Presentation (20%): improve the presentation skill of students.
Project (60%): Design around FOUR game levels.

Results
Cloth draping simulation
Different textures can be applied to different regions of a garment.
Small wrinkles along seam lines are created automatically.
6
Multiple interacting objects
Interacting performance is achieved
for many deformable objects even though the contact regions are large.
This simulation was executed on a multicore machine.

UNREAL DEVELOPMENT KIT
Unreal Development Kit
1.
2.
A collection of resources + independent components +
visual programming
Each independent components are connected to a
Engine Core
10
Unreal Development Kit
Engine Core communicates with the following engines:
1. Graphics Engine: Render images
2. Sound Engine: Managing audio effects
3. Physics Engine: collision detection, physics response
It supports scripting
- Syntax similar to C++
11
Work Flow


1. Initialization
a. Initialize components of Core Engine
b. Synchronization: Data communication between
components and Engine Core
c. Enter standby mode, waiting for client inputs
2. Start game
a. load map, resources, sequences
b. Map resources to Engine Core, e.g. sound sent to
sound engine, materials sent to graphics engine
3. Run game
a. Every component sends information to Core
Engine
b. Unreal Engine runes in a loop
– Based on the priorities of events, Unreal Engine handles them
properly.
