Learning outcomes |
This course unit aims to learn advanced topics related to the development of digital games. At the end of the course the student must be able to:
Understand the main algorithms of collision detection, algorithms of path finding, and algorithms for emulating the behaviour of personages.
Understand the particularities of modeling and animation for games.
Be able to propose/develop an innovator algorithm for games.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
To achieve the objectives there are tutorial classes where the students have the opportunity to discuss the algorithms and concepts for each topic and a practical project where the student has the possibility to test their knowledge by implementing an algorithm to solve a problem proposed.
The evaluation will be based on a report about the state of art of a topic selected and by a practical project, as well as, their presentations.
Report on the state of the art: 40%
Presentation of the report: 10%
Practical project: 40%
Presentation of the project: 10%
