Intro to video Game Development.

In this course, students will learn about the fundamentals of game design. Topics covered will include the structure of a videogame, the stages of the design process, principles of gameplay and core mechanics, game balancing, and level design. Students will use Python and Pygame to develop high end video games.
 

Relational databases are systems that organize data into very logical tables, much like a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Systems are built around tables, columns, and unique keys to access that data stored in rows using a database access language called Structured Query Language (SQL).

An algorithm is a finite sequence of well-defined instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation. Algorithms are used as specifications for performing calculations, data processing, automated reasoning, automated decision-making and other tasks.

In this course, you will learn how about the control structures that are needed to create algorithms and apply algorithmic reasoning to specific programming problems. Specifically, when addressing a specific programming problem, you will learn what algorithm to use and why.

Algorithms will be designed and tested in Python using a free integrated programming environment (IDE) software.
