CSC454: System Simulation and Virtual Worlds


Welcome to the home page for CSC454. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to simulation theory, practice, and applications from a programmatic point of view. The prerequisite for this course is CSC241. If you do not feel confident in your programming skills, please retake CSC241 (or otherwise get up to speed) before taking CSC454.

The Java and C++ languages are used for the course. You are supposed to know Java already, and can find some helpful C++-related links below.

You will obviously need to program to complete your course assignments. You can either use your personal computer, or you can utilize the Computer Science labs in Shineman.

You must check your email accounts regularly, because I will send course messages over email. You must also check this web site at least once a week.

The best way to contact me is via email. My email address is my first name at cs dot oswego dot edu. I do reply very quickly. Of course, you can also come to my office in Shineman 441 if you prefer personal communication.
