[AI-announce] Game Development in the next semester

[Daniel Vonk]

Dear students,

as you might have heard "Game Development in C#" will be split into two 
separate courses - a lecture and a lab course.


========== Game Development (Lecture, 6 CP) ==========
07/04/22 - 14/07/22, first meeting on 07/04 at 14:15 in HZO 50

The previous course has been expanded into a full lecture spanning the 
entire semester. You will learn fundamental concepts of game development 
and implement them with the Unity engine.
The entire course is very practice-oriented. Instead of having a final 
exam, you will be working on multiple projects over the course of the 
semester. In weekly meetings we will discuss the learned concepts and 
see examples of how they are used in popular games.

There is no limit on the number of participants anymore. If you're 
interested, you can already enroll in Moodle:
https://moodle.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/course/view.php?id=40282
There's not much there yet, but any further announcements will be made 
within the course. You can also see a preliminary schedule with all of 
the planned content if you want to know what to expect.

========== Game Development (Lab Course, 3 CP, 20-30 participants) 
==========
01/08/22 - 12/08/22, one additional presentation date 1-2 weeks later

This is basically a follow-up to the lecture. You'll learn how to 
develop your own game concept from the ground up and implement it with 
the Unity engine. The projects will be developed in groups of 1-2 
students and presented to the other participants, who will be able to 
play and discuss them together.

The course is directed at students of Angewandte Informatik and can be 
used as your "Programmierpraktikum". Master students can also get credit 
as a "Freies Wahlmodul". Be aware that basic to intermediate experience 
with the Unity engine is mandatory, since the course is designed to be 
taken directly after hearing the lecture.

If you have any questions regarding either of these courses, you can 
write a mail to daniel.vonk at ini.rub.de or post in the forum of the 
Moodle course.

Cheers,
Daniel
