INTRODUCTION
Israel has a booming computer game industry, and this project is meant to help
students get a grasp of the meaning of programming a computer game, and a foothold
in the industry.
In this project we’ll examine what it means to create a computer game – game design,
prototype creation, using an engine and deploying to various platforms. You will go
over several prototypes while designing a game, choose platforms, controllers, etc.,
while we examine such programming issues as real-time physics and I/O, separation
of logic and engine, AI programming and pathfinding, and other issues that might be
relevant for the chosen game.
