CMPUT 299
Computers and Games
Games are a popular form of interactive entertainment. They educate and inform us. They change the way we communicate. A computer game is the culmination of creative efforts of many different artistic and technical disciplines, integrated through the capabilities of the computer. Computer games are a new art form. They have changed the way we think about traditional activities. For example, role playing games are a new vehicle for story-telling; the reader becomes an active participant that influences the story.
CMPUT 299 is a new second-year course offered by the department of
