Learning outcomes |
- Introduce the main concepts about prototyping (paper and computer) of digital games.
- Develop functional prototypes that allow students to test and refine game design concepts quickly and effectively.
- This course unit has as general objective to provide the student with a comprehensive view of the design, prototyping and development of games.

Syllabus |
- Introduction to the Unity3D Interface;
- Introduction to the C # language for Unity3D: variables and components, boolean operators and conditional statements, loops, lists and arrays, functions and parameters, debugging, classes, and object-oriented thinking.
All these concepts are taught through hands-on development and programming. To this end, several (small) 2D and 3D digital prototypes will be developed along the UC and also a final project consisting of a vertical slice of a game.
