Using specific tools for computer games development has a long tradition. Today, no studio is developing computer games without the use of game development middlewares. The course will present a chosen software supporting a native game development, for which we will demonstrate the implementation of: gameplay mechanics, game user interface, level design, artificial intelligence, animations, music and sounds including creation of own tools for further ease of these implemenations.

Aim of the course -
