Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

In CS 133G we will explore the realm of 2D game development. The class will explore the methods and tools used by video game developers to better understand today's interactive mediums. The class focuses on building instead of exams, tinkering rather than talking, and understanding the mechanics instead of memorization.

Note: As an online class, students should be prepared to work at their own pace and be pro-active about reaching out when obstacles occur.
