GAME 207 Game Programming Patterns
Building on the foundations developed in GAME 106, Game Code Fundamentals, Programming Patterns focuses on the underlying principles of data structures in computer science and their application to key programming patterns commonly used in games. The emphasis is on programming for efficiency, readability, and reuse of code. Topics of study include data structure constructs, sorting algorithms, data storage structures, top-down manager scripts, inventory systems, artificial intelligence systems, and dynamic level loading schemes
