CSC490: Computer Game Programming


Welcome to the home page for CSC490. The purpose of this course is to introduce you to computer game programming, including algorithms, data structures, and enduring concepts used in the field. You will implement several games during this course.

We will use the Java language for the course. You can find some helpful Java-related links below. We will also use the Minueto library, also linked below.

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 Snygg 108 if you prefer personal communication.

This course involves heavy programming. If you do not feel confident in your programming abilities, please drop now and retake the course when you do. The class will not wait for students who only cover the prerequisites on paper.
