This course introduces core game programming techniques. In particular, we will consider the following topics:
- Game Physics
- Particle systems
- Deformable objects (e.g. cloth simulation)
- Rigid bodies
- Fluid simulation
- Animation / Geometry
- Collision detection
- Character animation
- Facial animation
- Rendering
- Natural phenomena (sky, clouds, water, fire, etc.)
- Advanced material rendering (texture tricks, subsurface scattering, procedural techniques, etc.)
- Screen space techniques (deferred shading, ambient occlusion, etc.)
