Welcome to Real-time 3D games! This class will be taught using C/C++ and OpenGL.

This class will be a team effort focused on building a game. Students will pick teams in the first week (teams of 4-8 people) and those teams will work together all quarter to build as close to a real (single level) game as possible. Everyone will be responsible for the lecture material, but within teams, members will be highly specialized (for example, some will focus on performance, shaders, effects/simulation, gui/audio, ai/game play, etc.). All programming work beyond the labs will be specialized within teams.
