deathmetal Posts: 6	Posted 11:17 Oct 10, 2014 \| this is actually what i am trying to do with my degree but im not sure. what classes i should be taken. im kind of saddened that c++ is not the main language at csula.

That class is geared towards multimedia, which has several different topics including gaming. http://www.calstatela.edu/sites/default/files/groups/Department%20of%20Computer%20Science/undergraduate_student_handbook.pdf i have a background in design, and am not necessarily trying to do gaming (only mobile and 2D stuff), so it really depends on what kind of games you are trying to make.

Do you want to work on physics engines and learn all about how to efficiently draw graphics to the screen. Do you want to work on a realistic set of behaviors for NPCs to make realistic characters. Design interfaces in games, etc. That will help you figure out what you will need to do to enter the game industry after graduating. In graphics for example a CSULA alumni posted their masters degree thesis on realistic 3d grass rendering and is currently working in the industry. This is his personal website, I would highly recommend viewing his work http://illogictree.com/upload/site/LeeRealtimeGrassThesis.pdf Last edited by ringworld at 21:28 Oct 10, 2014.
